I'm certainly hopeful that we will have this money available to us this summer.

Legislators will debate the issue of how much the program should be funded. So we're waiting for the funding process to be completed and we just don't know when that will actually occur.

Unfortunately, the bill does not have a funding amount attached to it. The governor's original recommendation was $750,000, but now we're waiting for funding pursuant to the budget process.

The thing we need to be concerned about is the possibility of these problems extending into the summer months when we absolutely need that power to meet Arizona's electricity needs.

This is a watershed event. We are taking our energy destiny into our own hands.
