* What risks did the Company evaluate in deciding to commit to this decision? * What options remain available to the Company for developing this site at a future time? * Explain the Company's decision for not seeking approval for this decision from the Commission.

Our tools for evaluating costs often assume a) changes at the margin and b) looking backward, rather than forward (as in cost-of-service-studies).
