We need it all because we don't know where the advancements in technology are going to come. We don't know where the prices of gas and oil coal are going to go. And if we don't have it on the grid, we're not going to be able to take advantage of those cost savings for the ratepayers. And that's who we were here for. (23:53–23:57)
