''The regulatory framework that enables people to change.''

''I'm optimistic that the rest of this decade is going to be very viable for that transition because we can operate outside of regulatory constraints, and we can certainly be more cost-competitive.''

''I'm a strong believer in distributed energy''

''The economic reasons phase out a few subsidies and the other things together, they will probably prevent conventional capacities from being significant edits in the region over the next few years''.
