Thank you.
To our guests from Carbon Engineering, congratulations on your recent success. The folks you're meeting with obviously have an impressive background, to say the least.
I've been reading about your technology for a couple of years and I find it absolutely phenomenal. In particular, you gave some advice near the end of your testimony about focusing on early start-ups and targeting businesses that can actually serve the public interest, or the public good, which is, I believe, how you phrased it. I'm curious if you can describe in a little more specific detail how a direct investment has allowed you to commercialize a technology that was in the inception stage and actually solved a problem. Where would you be without the support of federal departments along the way?
