Well, thank you so much, Nat.

I am doing great.

It's great to be on.

Thank you for having me.

I'm really looking forward to this.

Yeah.

Thank you, Nat.

So I work as the director of the Utility Customers Association, which is a project of Spring Street Climate Fund here in New York.

And we are an organization of utility customers who are sick of high electricity bills.

and want structural changes to high electricity charges.

And so one reason why we got started is because these causes, the causes of pro climate policy and affordability policies, these are frequently positioned in the media as separate and sometimes even framed as competing or clashing.

And

We really believe that it's the exact opposite.

The way you get affordable bills is through common sense, renewable and storage policy.

And there is a clear need to do something about the affordability crisis that we find ourselves in.

So we've been organizing for about a year.

It's been really great to just talk to people on the street, farmers markets, you know, all over New York about electricity bills.

And now I'm happy to talk with all of you.

No.

Well, for what it's worth, I promise you they're asking that in Europe as well.
