Ann Kirkpatrick: “And I am going to answer the question for them. The answer is no, you cannot do the construction.”

In my view, it is no longer feasible to forego a processing operation in Tucson itself.

My home state of Arizona is the second fastest growing state in the country with massive population growth and development in some parts of the state.

So we have large swaths of land, Tribal land, especially in northern Arizona, that the power lines run right over their Tribal land and that they are not attached to the grid.

Running a power line doesn't really make sense, but if you have stand-alone energy resources for those communities, to me, that makes the most sense.
