From the transcript
But we can look at what, given our baseline assumptions of the $46.2 billion capital cost and the $1.50 per 1,000 cubic feet purchase price, we have that $9.07 break-even price under current law, the $8.48 under the governor's version of the bill, and the $8.96 per 1,000 cubic feet under the version before the committee. And we could look at what would those breakeven prices be with the different gas purchase prices at the upstream and then with different capital costs.
