Why inconsistency in reported Natural Gas resources?
More explanation would be helpful to reconcile differences in the reporting of natural gas resources between this annual report (27.8%) and the Jan. 28, 2010 presentation to city council by Roger Duncan on the generation plan (11%).

This issue is significant in that Austin continues to make long-term investment to own new natural gas plants (including 2 new units in 2010) even though the gas plants Austin now own seem to run very little .
