From the transcript
I've got a bit of reverence for statute, and I would prefer not to be putting hard dollar numbers in statute and taking this sort of, uh, step. However, without that contract being signed, this is the only way that today any of us can go back to voters and a guarantee to them that they will not be paying a higher price of gas as a result of this project. Ideally, we'd have a signed contract. We would know definitively that Alaskans would not be paying more than $16 per MMBtu. We don't have that signed contract, so this is the only way to do it.
