Clearly, everyone is looking for some way to gain a competitive advantage.

I just hope that they don't do something like that. We're already facing a huge challenge. The industry is re-investing in capacity expansion very aggressively.

The benefits don't start accruing until the project starts to get built.

This will . . . have huge economic costs for very little gain.

This is not a two-thirds cut. We had to restructure the entire system because of the magnitude of the project. This is a $2.2 billion facility. The Navajo Nation never contemplated a project this size.

It'll be a comprehensive study, and it'll be a significant cost.

To get a bill to pass _ it would take a heavy-duty collaborative effort. Unfortunately, to this date, because this is such a hard-to-touch issue, we never have been able to address it in a meaningful way.
