Thank you. And to the Colorado River Compact. Would you agree to mandatory cuts to Colorado river usage in dry years? Mr. Weiser, you first. This is an important point. In dry years, we always have cuts because we don't have these big reservoirs, Lake Powell and Lake Mead. Part of the challenge with the Caudal river situation is lower basin states like Arizona have overused and drained down those reservoirs for years. We've got rights under the compact. (41:43–41:50)
