From the transcript
And I have every confidence that at the end of the day, the logic, the fundamentals, the need for this project to go forward, and the tremendous benefit that this project will carry to the state is what will push this— the tax bill across the line to being passed in a form that works during this special session. So with that, with the tax bill passed, there is more work to be done. There is a— there is the process of going through the regulatory process with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska and our contracts with the utilities. There is obviously the work to actually build the project, and so there's more hard work to be done, of course, to— before we can flow gas. But again, I'm confident that with the continued investment of time, resources, and emotional energy, intellectual energy from so many members of the Alaskan community, including members of this panel, that we will be able to do it, and very honored to be able to be in the position to carry that forward.
