"one of our core principles has to do things right by the state, and so to prioritize low-cost domestic gas as low as possible, to do the project as quickly as possible, and more above all, to make sure our contracts and our arrangements with the state are fair to all parties involved.

Along the way, one of our core principles has to do things right by the state, and so to prioritize low-cost domestic gas as low as possible, to do the project as quickly as possible, and more above all, to make sure our contracts and our arrangements with the state are fair to all parties involved.

Justin Ruffridge to say the project simply "doesn't work."
