From the transcript
It is urgent. We cannot delay it. And trust me, a pipeline or an LNG import, we cannot do it in time to get it here for this winter. We can't do it in time to get next winter and probably not even in 2029. But the sooner we start acting and the sooner we start getting together this plan and finalizing things, we can start having reliable energy for our customers.
