From the transcript
But there's right now, again, it's this thing about coming together. We've got 3 competing proposals for importing natural gas that utilities are spending lots and lots of time and dollars on, you know, looking at. And we need to kind of come together around like some consensus around these things instead of all going off on our own in our own direction. And so, so that's something that, that I'd like to see happen more. And that's where I think political leadership can really come to the table.
