And then what is the capital cost of the project? As we all know, that, that cost has not been released publicly. There's been speculation that the capital cost is higher than the $46.2 billion that we've modeled. And so what we've done here is we've started with our base CAPEX, which is the $46.2 $6.2 billion assumption, and we've modeled out up to a 100% higher cost. We've heard from AGDC and Glenfarm that that 100% is probably too high, but so this gives a range that we're pretty confident that the capital cost is within this range.
