Pauline concludes that if the dams are breached, electrical costs will skyrocket. This is because the region has a growing population and a booming industry. (The phrase “given the region’s growing population and booming industry” is a premise.)
Roger concludes that whether or not the dams are breached, we will have to find additional sources of energy for the region. This is because the dams are already producing electricity at the optimal capacity.
We’re looking for a point of agreement. The speakers agree that there will likely be growing demand for electricity in the region.
