And maybe that's a good chance for us to really focus maybe on Lithgow, you know, and for listeners who don't know it, walk us through like the town's energy history because, you know, it's obviously was a coal town and its role with, you know, Mount Piper and the surrounding mines have played, you know, a pretty big role in its identity and its economy.

that Lithgow is just a remarkable place.

I think one of the things you don't often think about when you think about Lithgow is just how beautiful it is, sitting in a valley, beautiful blue mountains behind you.

For sure.

And I guess the story people tell of Lithgow is that the warning signs were there for years.

You know, analysts were flagging that Mount Piper was becoming uneconomic and closure dates kept piling up and getting pulled forward.

Why do you think those signs weren't acted upon sooner?
