And we saw that chart with prices increasing every five years significantly. There are also indications that this could have a direct impact on people's employment and fuel efficiency. Explain the link there? Yeah, exactly. So in the same regulatory analysis using that US EIA data, they looked at impacts to jobs. And by 2035, you could see as many as 450,000 jobs lost under these Trump environmental rollback policies. Now, those jobs would begin to rebound a couple decades later, but not enough that you would be able to overcome the losses seen in those previous years. And then looking at fuel efficiency standards, this one really jumped out at me. So under the Biden administration, we were going to see really significant improvements to fuel efficiency standards for cars, trucks, and SUVs. So I believe by 2035, cars would be getting about 61 miles per gallon. Trucks and SUVs could get as many as 41 miles per gallon. But under these Trump policies, where again, you're going to roll back energy efficiency, those numbers would not be nearly as significant. In fact, I think for SUVs right now, we're getting 27 miles per gallon. And at most, they would get up to about 29 miles per gallon under Trump policies. That's fascinating because we always, in a way, expected fuel efficiency to increase over time. But it looks like that trend will change.
