PUF's First Question of The Day: What are the most important issues facing your State or Company?
Abigail Anthony, Rhode Island Commissioner: Right now, we're spending a lot of time thinking about winter fuel availability to our power generation fleet. The northeast is constrained, hard to get fuel in. We're in the same market as Europe, trying to get LNG. So, we hope that we don't have a polar vortex and that it's a mild winter. That's what we're doing the most thinking about.
Brad Johnson, Montana Vice President: It's the threat that we see posed to adequate capacity that's a result of premature closure of coal assets. There's really nothing on the drawing board to replace those dispatchable assets at the rate at which they're being closed, and it's going to be a potentially regional crisis for us.
Ann Rendahl, Washington Commissioner: We are in the middle of the clean-energy transition and implementing several key bills, and at the same time as we're doing that, we're very focused on customer affordability and making sure that all customers can benefit from this transition. Especially with the rising gas prices, it's really creating issues.
