And, uh, in terms of grid, uh, capacity, uh, what have you learned looking across Europe, uh, where, where-- what's the situation from your perspective?

perspective?Uh, I feel slightly sorry for the CPOs and maybe even sorry for myself, uh, in terms of reviewing all of the different grid fees in different regions and how they differ and the different components of how they're made up.

Uh, fundamentally, uh, each region is different and each country, and within each country you see very different costs.

Um, so we did a, a kind of deep dive more so on the UK, um, and then we did sort of have a little look at other markets around Europe.

Um, and what you've got is a peak demand charge, an, an amount of money that you pay per kilowatt, uh, at peak times, and that seems to be rising in different locations.

And then some markets such as the UK also have a fee, uh, that you would pay at peak times for the kilowatts that you consume, like a time of use kind of grid fee.

Um, not every market has both, um, and the economics depend on both the, the size of them and whether you have both of them.

Was there any parts in the report about the, um, the expected pressure on the grid? Again, you know, combining the, the forecast on the, uh, vehicle side and then this infrastructure, which probably can't keep up.

Looking at that enormous portfolio and the challenges facing the nation today, what excites you most about the direction the Corps is going?

So Reagan, I think the common thread between all Corps employees is that we're excited about public service.

We are all helping to position the Corps to meet the nation's evolving water resource challenges while staying true to our primary mission of delivering engineering solutions that serve the public.

All of us, we all know the demands on our infrastructure are growing more complex from increased flooding risks to aging water resource infrastructure, to supporting economic growth, supporting environmental stewardship, supporting national security.

I think meeting all of those demands is what excites all of us.

In particular, I'm energized by the collaborative nature of this role.

I think success depends on building strong partnerships across the administration, across Congress, state and local governments, tribal nations, industry, all the communities that we serve.

When you are looking at the different business lines, how do you encourage teams to just embrace those innovative tools and methods instead of doing things the way we've always done it?

How did it become such a massive story?

I was living and working as an actor down in LA and I joined a cabaret troupe.

After working with them for a while, they sort of put me in their shows with the task of coming up with an act.

So they're like, you can be in the next show, but you got eight minutes to fill.

You got to come sing a song, do something like that.

I was really nervous about singing live.

And so I kind of created this like mask in a way that was this larger than life character with a bunch of makeup and wigs.

Ryan, what about yourself? Have you done anything where you've posted where the fans were like, not having it? Nope, I've always been perfect.

Recent moves to wind down government support are a headwind for China's EV makers, but Fisher says subsidies haven't been the only driver of their rise, especially in BYD's case.How much of BYD's success is down to Chinese government support over the years?

There was the investigation from the European Union about which specific automakers were getting the most subsidies and therefore what tariffs they should achieve.

BYD was actually on the lower end of the spectrum than some of those.

I think what the Chinese government have done, and what some people look as maybe je- I would be jealous of it, is that they aligned everything they were doing.

They had an automotive plan.

They got involved with the metals and mining.

They provided the subsidies.

Some critics may look at BYD's success and the success of other Chinese automakers in Europe and in other markets outside of China and say, "This is a classic example of China shifting excess capacity to other markets." It- would that be a fair criticism?
