As partners in the industry willing to support gas and much-needed commerce for Alaskans, we can make that work. I can look my constituents in the eye and explain with a high level of confidence that it will cover our costs in spite of the inevitable surprises we will find going forward. If there's a little left beyond that, perhaps over time we can afford to repair some schools, reconnect, repair, and pave a few roads, afford a new cell at the landfill, which will increase by approximately 12% because of this project, and help rebuild a community. Perhaps one day we'll be able to help solve affordable housing and energy issues and connect the 35% of the Kenai Peninsula that yet have natural gas today in 2026. The Kiski is a tiny community at the north end of the Kenai Peninsula.
