But, uh, if you take the tax rate to zero, it still doesn't get this project over the line financially. So there's more work to be done by the developer to get this project economic. And I look forward to, uh, construction of the gas line at some point. Hopefully this is the project that does it, but we'll wait and see. I'm ready to take action on this CS so we can continue to work on it, Mr. Chairman.
