From the transcript
The project, I think, has made an exceptional commitment in the legislature. And when I say the project's made the commitment, I say we've expressed our support, we've engaged with the legislature, and we have expressed our support for what I think is a really exceptional thing, which is a price cap on the cost of gas, because we want to make sure that this is an economically positive impact on, on the state and most importantly, on the ratepayers. And so in order to make sure that that protection exists, we've been supportive of capping the price of gas that can be sold to, to the utilities and the ratepayers of Alaska. That's an exceptional thing. I think that is something that has been, been quite controversial within the legislature.
