i appreciate commissioner moller caen's concerns about cost and speeding things up. at the same time, there are enormous real-estate challenges to deal with central shocks and to move things around it in the southeast in particular. we cannot do too many things at once and keep the system running. i think staff is challenged in trying to figure that out. there are some very real issues with how to phase it. very briefly, on the green infrastructure, i think that will have impact on water conservation. as there is more water infiltration, that will have portable and non portable offsets. we should look at water conservation and green in separate boxes but also in the crossover impact's going forward. in addition to these projects, if $7 billion is not enough, there will be more in the future. possible nutrient removal, all of the future regulatory drivers. this is all the stuff we need to be doing now. we need to continue to invest in the system. it is not a system that invests in itself. we need to continue to follow that. just to end, although the costs are signific
