Let's first just be realistic about fid. Developers have a habit of setting very aggressive FID dates and they do this because it's really the only way to drive everyone who's actually working on a project to a common target. But the knock on effect is it sets this unrealistic FID date out in the public and slowly credibility erodes. And so as agdc, we don't want to forecast when the FID is. We want to talk about what the path is to FID and then people can make a credible judgment themselves.
