From the transcript
That obviously has not materialized. We have restarted conversations with Chugach again, and we are waiting back to hear their proposal on what they can do in this different timeframe. You know, one of the challenges with the exchange, and this goes to like deliverability of the storage fields, is, you know, there is a certain daily volume that electric utilities can send that gas to us. So it's not like we can just say, hey, Chugach Electric, I need 1 BCF of gas and we get it. It doesn't work that way.
