Representative Hannon. Thank you, Coach Foster. So, Mr. Stickell, I guess I'm surprised that the LNG breakeven price under the governor's version of SB 81 only brings it down to $8.48 and What you said is the current Asian sale price is a range of 8 to 9. So it doesn't seem that even under that scenario that the governor introduced, if I'm a buyer in Asia, this, this price doesn't look that attractive. So is it that the supply in Asia isn't going to be there?
