We said at the time of the filing that we were hopeful natural gas prices would decline so that we could reduce our rate request.

Prices for natural gas have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels across the nation over the past year.

All of forms of power generation create carbon. Some sort of carbon sequestration is the most likely intermediate-term carbon solution.
