Welcome to Thank you for being here. I want to talk about the growing hydro demand. And your own data shows increased demand for hydro licensing activities in the next decade, right? With more than 40% of the non-federal hydropower fleet due to be relicensed, I think by 2035. For that reason, Senator Daines and I, actually working together, introduced S. 3500, which is the Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act, and it requires annual FERC reports to Congress on pending projects and action plans.
