Cummins has said that publicly we've set by 2050, we would be net zero. The other large part that we have said is that the products that we use that go into use with our customers would be netzero by 2050. I think of this in three segments or three chunks of 10 years, Helen. The first 10 would be where everybody is trying out a variety of technologies and then infrastructure will start to go on green. And even if it is not exactly 2050, this three-phase philosophy of prototype,. trying as many solutions, messy metal, and robust solutions that come up in the last decades is how I think this will start to pan out.
