It was an unforeseen weather event that we believe would've been very difficult to plan for. No one plans to lose 18 generating units on the system in a short time.

At least in the near term we are seeing a sharp decrease in natural gas prices because the weather has been warmer nationwide and storage levels are running 30 percent above the five-year average. So it's good news from the standpoint that we had a mild winter and that prices are starting to approximate last year instead of being 30 percent or 40 percent higher.

It's good news for consumers. This is the fourth straight month the price has been down.

That's a simplistic way of looking at it. When someone spends a lot of money at the game and thinks about their bill, there's a disconnect. What they don't think about are all the things we do to support the community.

But no other state gets hit by the severe weather conditions that Texas does.

Maybe the weather was just so hot it didn't feel like summer was over yet. I don't know.
