From the transcript
And if DNR and the governor's office are allowing BlueCrest to sit on what we believe to be 300 billion cubic feet of gas, that is only hurting our situation this winter. If they're allowing— if they're blocking storage issues for this winter or not moving forward and helping storage issues, that is only going to make this situation worse. So the focus needs to be on how are we going to get through this crisis of this winter. That needs to be the focus. I'm glad to hear Senator Giesel focusing on that, and I look forward to those hearings.
