Nico JohnsonHOST
So I'm curious, if I'm running a solar and storage company or broadly a clean energy company here in this region, what has materially changed about my reality and my business environment over the last year?

Robin DuttaGUEST
I was working on federal affairs around the Inflation Reduction Act, so it's been really jarring for me personally to have worked on that piece, helped to get things like interconnection as an eligible cost in the tax credit over the finish line, Be actually on the South Lawn of the White House celebrating the most ambitious climate law ever passed in the United States and then see it pretty much repealed three years later and then be in this position to work on, you know, the ripple effects and and, you know, basically it's red alert and everyone's holding on for dear life.

Nico JohnsonHOST
But I'm curious where you see the policy fights right now, maybe the ones that even are not so in the headlines, but you have to focus on?
