Because the RCA is only ever gonna approve what's reasonable and necessary. And if, you know, the cost overrun example on slide 4 today were to hit an in-state 42-inch pipe with only in-state consumers, I worry that we have a half-built project and no chance of an approved tariff that could pay for the cost overruns.
