From the transcript
The economics of the project in a negotiating environment are very, very tightly held because clearly in that commercial back and forth, whether it's around equity or upstream supply, the understanding of the broad economic basis of the project is a key feature. So unlike the— in SB 138, where there was a considerable degree of transparency between ExxonMobil as the developer then, you know, the state and other entities, with the current arrangement, it's not surprising, frankly, that there is some degree of concern over confidentiality, capital costs, and so forth.
