From the transcript
Through the Chair, you know, I guess I don't want to be guilty of negotiating in public. We are in negotiations with NSTAR right now, and so these are relatively complex contracts. The main point that I'm making when I say restructured is we can make the gas available today as long as we all understand that we are— we will be unable to make that same volume of gas available in the future. That's the main point I was making there.
