if you start to throw the system off, you have an issue where, and um, we don’t want to scare people. Um, but if we don’t have enough gas into the system, um, you have to start to shut off. You can have air get into people’s pipes and into their, you know, furnaces and appliances. You have to turn off gas um, to customers, but the real issue becomes turning it back on again. It’s not like flipping *** switch or, you know, during *** power outage, you get power back on, your lights, come back on everyone around the, it’s not like that. You literally have to go to every home, turn their meter on, go inside their home relight, the pilot light, check out that all of the natural gas appliances are working properly and safely and it takes some time. So you can imagine where if you had, you know, even *** couple dozen customers who are out of gas, it’s gonna take some time. Um, and so what we, what we believe we can, if people, you know, can turn it down instead of having *** situation, we even have to worry about the worst case scenario. If people would just take some small steps tonight through the overnight hours, we can have just really *** big and better outcome for everyone
