Now that's fancy terms for saying approval without actually going through the normal process. And this is going to increase the load on our grid by more than twice now. We just lost our power for five days in a row because of a mid-level storm. We need to do a lot better. To me, it's about transparency in policymaking. People should not be able to take that money and then turn the other cheek and then allow for these approval processes that aren't approval processes at all. (21:08–21:14)
