Q In a worst case scenario, what would have happened to you?
A The email I sent out to all of our investors on Saturday basically laid out that we had enough cash reserves as was to fund about two months of operations. The worst case scenario would have just been that, you know, we basically had to re-raise around. And the, the good news here is that investors had just invested in us. Many of the investors have, you know, pretty deep pockets. I say Shell Ventures led the round. I mean, it's challenging for us and our existing shareholders because that would cause a lot of dilution. And also, you know, when we think about the, the chain of events here, if all of our money had dried up, it's likely that some of our investors' money would have dried up, so some of them may not have been able to offer that sort of lifeline or, or reinvest. Again, the, the big, um, corporate strategic investors probably would have been a little more impervious to it, but we were, we were definitely thinking through that scenario. Again, it's, we're, our focus is on two to three gigatons of annual CO₂ impact, and if that means we have to give up a significant Additional portion of the company to do it. So be it. Suboptimal, but so be it.
