"Looking over a much shorter time frame from 2010 to 2026, you can see that that's dropped from about 350 million cubic feet a day down to right around 200 million a day.

Again, looking at the Cook Inlet, the previous slide was looking at annual demand. This is looking at specifically what's produced on a daily basis. Looking over a much shorter time frame from 2010 to 2026, you can see that that's dropped from about 350 million cubic feet a day down to right around 200 million a day.

Now, that would be a 40-year, 50-year weather event where it's sustained 25 below here in Anchorage.
