We are undertaking a large capital expansion program that will significantly increase our long-term debt. We are exposed to cost uncertainty in connection with our construction projects at existing and new generating facilities. Due in part to national initiatives and/or international negotiations, we may become subject to legislative, regulatory and/or judicial responses to climate change, compliance with which could be difficult and costly. Our access to, and cost of, capital could be adversely affected by various factors, including current market conditions, limitations on the availability of Rural Utilities Service loans and our credit ratings, and significant constraints on our access to, or increases in our cost of, capital could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We own nuclear facilities, which give rise to environmental, regulatory, financial and other risks, and we are participating in the development of new nuclear facilities. Our costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations are significant and have increased in recent years, and we may face increased costs related to environmental compliance, litigation or liabilities in the future. We could be adversely affected if we are unable to continue to operate our facilities in a successful manner. Changes in fuel prices could have an adverse effect on our cost of electric service We may not be able to obtain an adequate supply of fuel, which could limit our ability to operate our facilities. The financial difficulties faced by other companies could adversely affect us. Our ability to meet our financial obligations could be adversely affected if our members fail to perform their contractual obligations to us. Changes in power generation technology could result in the cost of our electric service being less competitive.
