Thank you for joining us for this episode where we're here live in the DJ Basin and we're here

Currency of Prairie Operating Company big shout out to them for inviting us out here in the

history of podcasting nobody and I mean nobody has ever recorded podcasts live from

operating drill site except us and OGGN right behind us they're they're laying casing. And if you're wondering at this point

why the audio sounds so much better, Paige, I moved to the company man's trailer to finish this

The electrical generation plant is running at low capacity, so they brokered a deal with Prairie to sell them electricity cheaper than you would normally get it, which means everything they're doing is runoff electricity, which is better for the environment, better for the equipment, and gives you faster time to hit oil, to hit oil and gas. So if you're interested in Prairie, I'm not recommending or not recommending. I will say this much of total transparency.

I did buy stock in Prairie.

So if you want to follow my advice on operating companies that are doing things outside the box,
