yeah. right. yeah. yeah. what’s the business line, if you can tell me? okay. alright, [LAUGHS] alright. good. yeah, no, it’s, and you’re well suited for that. [LAUGHS] ah, no, that’s, i mean, the- you- i think you and i are pretty similar in that it’s always fun to start new projects and business, etc, and, and figure it out. ah… yeah. right, right right, yeah, no, i- i couldn’t agree more, so, so that’s good. how’s- how’s my friend heidi eggert doing? yeah - yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. yeah. right, right, that’s always the case when you’re working with outside- yeah. holy cow! i have not, i- i want to do that. yeah. right. right. yeah, i ju- i just went to it now. great graphics. [LAUGHS] pleasantly shocked, not- not totaly surprised, because he- he sort of, sort of for the longest time saw it as, sort of ah, an outlier, but, but he’s certainly, whatever, whatever, whatever happened, boy, i was very pleased that he’s now taking this very seriously. he has not gotten back to me, he has seen it but he has not gotten back to me yet, um, and, i gave him a little while today to try and digest it, um, ah, i know that a lot of people have been firing emails at him so i do want to give him a little time to breathe. um, yeah. yeah, that’s, that’s fine, and i - and that’s, i’m, i’m more than happy with it all. but i’ll actually just start ah- just put his name on an email right now just to get started on it. i’ve minimized things on the computer, so- so what are you, i- i was really pleased that, that, to hear that, you know, if, if brownback goes to, it sounded like if brownback goes to bingham with specific language that gets him his vote, they’re going to give him the lineup. and, um, so i- what do you think we should do now? because i’m, and i still need to, to reach out to nancy and sara, and i’m going to do that today. um… yeah. [TYPES] [LONG PAUSE] [LAUGHS] right. right. right. right. and, right. and that- that makes sense, i- you know, right. yup. right. right. mm-hmm. mm-hmm. mm-hmm. yeah. yep, i agree, and- and i need to find out from sara first when his dad’s going to be in town because the schedule of that is going to drive all of our collective actions. yeah. yeah, yeah, [LAUGHS] yeah i will, and i’ll- i’ll use the meeting for- that works pretty well, so, ah, okay, so let me, let me get that done today, and, ah, i’m - i’m just going to actually send sara an email, and then we’ll go from there. um, becuase i- okay, yeah, that’s- that’s good. ah, because if climate’s not going to come out of the senate, you can bet your bottom dollar that [UNCLEAR] will, they just have to, so, okay. wait, go ahead. i, i certainly am, certainly am. you know that’s been discussed in terms of the, the, the, the, the chance for absolute chaos in the market and confusion, and the last thing in the world that people need is to have a confusing topic even more confusing, um, and- and- and the discussion has taken place, and i need to follow- and i’ve talked about it specifically with gabe and, and tom, but it didn’t strike us that that the feds can- it really is. perhaps, yeah, just as an administrative thing, and it may be something that can be done adiminstratively after th fact, as an aside. but that’s a fair point, le tm efolow up on that, we’re not going to spend a lot of time on that. but- right. right, right, right, yeah, let me, yeah, i know i know, and, and i admittedly am not involved in every little conversation that goes on so it may be happening with my blinders protecting me from knowledge, but let me, find out some answers on that. right, and, and that’s what i- it’s just easier that way. um, and it- and it’s intersting, i’m pretty good friends with the person who’s going to be, the deputy epa who’s going to be in charge of air quality, and that’s a conversation that i might be able to have with her, she gets confimred tomorrow. so, yeah, it’s very helpful always to have allies in different places, so, ah yeah, that’s- that’s something that’, yeah, let me - and, and also we know dan bonderman pretty well too, who’s just been appointed as a deputy at DOE, so… absolutey. ab- absolutley. right, they’re all trying- and, and they’re not going to want, actually you know, this is my guess, someone who should be intimately involved in this is someone like, APX, and, and rimer. ah, yn, they should be all about this. so, hey, um, those federal, those federal letters, we never circled on ‘em. what’s that? ee- ensley, and, who else did you have? endsley and, i gave you somebody else i think. okay, i, i can go back and lo, have you, have you done anything on those? i know we were supposed to talk, and we never did. okay. yeah, yeah, that- that- absolutely. um, and, and that letter probbly should be a good precurser, just back to, what i might add to that, letter, make it shorter, that letter is far too long. gabe- gabes great but he has a tendency to - he wants ot put everything into something and not realize that people are going to read a quarter of it. and that letter should go to that staffer- i’m hoping to keep you in the loop, i’m hoping to meet with local people in endsley’s office, so that loop is closed, but again it’s a- it’s a letter to that staffer, thanking that staffer from your perspective as a local company, from the time- so, shoot me a draft and i can take a look at it when you get done. okay? okay, and i’m going to send sara an email right now, and hopefully by the end fo the day i’ll get an email out to nancy, sara, you, and david. to get on top of that. oh, ah, i actually emailed cameron on that and i think cameron’s out of pocket.[PAUSE] i think it’s 11 o’clock your time. you are? ah- yeah, i’ll, cameron will take care of all that, when he- when he resurfaces. okay? okay. yeah, that’s great, i’m- you know, truth be told, i’m not par- particularly meeting- a fan of meetings, so, truth be told, the shorter the meeting the better, as long as we accomplish your tasks, i’m all for keeping it short and sweet and simple. yeah, that’s what you are reading, you are absolutely reading that correctly. exactly. right. and, and, right. yeah, no, it’s, i- i think it- i think it’s shortsighted. right. right. right. yeah, and, and let’s just get all that out on the table, and i think having obediah involved will be tremndously valuable as well. because i think Card Wilson’s to mud. obediah is from smud so that’s good too. he’ll be on the call as well. do you know obediah bartholemy? he’s a great guy, and he’ll be on the call as well. okay? thanks rob, see ya.
