Gordon BitkoGUEST
Yeah, there's a few really important elements to dive into a little bit more there, Stacey.

Gordon BitkoGUEST
The first is a lot of the requirement for the grid itself is due to the age of the grid.

Gordon BitkoGUEST
It's not even due to new demand, but to the fact that we have to replace legacy transformers and legacy transmission and legacy generation, things that have been around for 50 or 70 or even 100 years in some cases, and well beyond the expected lifespan of a lot of that equipment.

Gordon BitkoGUEST
And maybe you aren't always happy if things break and you have to fix them, but understand that that's part of the process.
