Yeah absolutely, no one is saying that isnt an option. But when you capture the production as a single build or consideration simply needing the effort you dont account for the costs of infrastructure to hundreds and thousands of sites and quickly you will see that a lot of these sites are not going to produce enough for it to be a viable option.

There is load of oil in the ground that we dont take out because it isnt a good investment. This is the same.
