## Quote — verbatim

> Capturing energy is one thing, but transmitting the energy is very hard... a lot of times you may see a source but it may not be big enough to power a data center... but trust me, right now with decentralization of energy and compute along with it, a lot of these untapped sources like geothermal or any of the sources that maybe have small production capability will be used a lot more, and that's the vision that we're going after when it comes to decentralized compute and energy.
