in my view, you started things off by rejecting secretary perry's radical proposal to force consumers to bailout uncompetitive coal. and i hope that we can return to that topic in a minute. because i really do believe not only is the underlying policy wrong, i also believe that it is a threat on your independence and oversight, to be directed this way. in order 841, you directed market operators to remove barriers to energy storage including lithium batteries, pump hydro and wholesale markets. this was a long-overdue and good step. order 843 established a cyber security standard for supply chain controls, cyber security will be a never-ending challenge for us. but, i strongly urge you to keep building on the progress you have already made. i also want to highlight a couple of concerns about policy issues you are considering. so, the state of washington has never had something like quote, an offer price will. i'm sure glad that we don't. for the sake of consumers across the nation, i hope that the commission does not doubled down on paragraph 22 of your march order. this topic echoes t
