That is accurate. I suggest the Senator check the record.
The main point I am making is nobody is suggesting we restrict people's right to be able to take challenges. However, we need to be honest and upfront with the public as to the consequences of such challenges. We can all speak about meeting our targets in terms of wind energy, etc., but we cannot get to those targets if applications are caught up in process and in the courts. I have no issue with anybody challenging anything once he or she is upfront and honest as to the consequences of those challenges.
