My follow-up question comes from a more domestic perspective. We saw a significant failure to spend in terms of our capital allocations over the past couple of years. Covid was the cause of some of that but we have talked a lot about capacity within various sectors. I presume some of the effects of the Ukraine-Russia crisis will impact that capacity issue as well and supply. Does Dr. McQuinn believe we have the capacity to spend our capital allocations in 2022 and 2023?
