From the transcript
We've got a Regulatory Commission of Alaska that also does not have a vision to execute. So we've got pieces, but they're kind of at misalignment. And so I think aligning those pieces around a vision, as I mentioned before. I think that's what a lot of this innovation is behind, and then executing it. And so far, it appears that the utilities have not been able to do that execution on their own, and so some kind of state policy looks to be necessary to make that happen, and that's not uncommon.
