What you have in front of you is better than airplane reading. There are some suggestions in this energy 2020 document that people will look at and they will argue and they will say that is one persons view. That is true, that is true. But while we are trying to do is not give you a legislative package starting with initiatives that we are going to kind of clicked off as we move forward.
