We sold a little bit of additional gas to Matanuska Electric last year. We sold a little bit of additional gas to Enstar this year. But make no mistake, and I'm sure that Mr. Sims will reference this, we are getting dangerously close to not having enough gas to go around. And I think the utilities will affirm that they are expecting shortages here in the near term. You know, all that despite the fact that Hilcorp invests $400 to $500 million a year in ensuring that we are bringing Cook Inlet gas to market.
Hilcorp senior vice president Luke Sargey told the Alaska Gas Line Caucus on Thursday that the company opposes a targeted income tax on Hilcorp, not the gas line, while Glenfarne and business groups urged lawmakers to pass the property tax bill without added taxes.

Enstar president John Sims told the Alaska Gas Line Caucus on Thursday the utility could be 3 billion cubic feet short this winter, equal to 18 midwinter days serving no customers. MEA's Tony Izzo said his gas is contracted for only 2 years and 7 months.
