becauseabout starbucks both whole foods and starbucks were kind of early movers in their respective fields. foods likee starbucks as it tries to dig itself out of its problem? >> good morning, starbucks is a different experience. an affordable pleasure every day and they are selling proprietary products as opposed to whole foods which is a shopping experience and they are selling other peoples products. that is a big difference and that eliminates some insulation against price competition. the key that whole foods need to focus on is changing its poor brand image with respect to price. >> i know about your phd at cornell. if you go to l myra, new york, will you tell me that overpriced organics will sell their? i know they sell in boston. new they move in elmyra, york? >> i know erwin is focused on the growth of whole foods but as they grow into markets like l myra, they need to change the concept of that that whole foods concept may not resonate in some of the growth areas. it's a common strategy that hotels use. simon, you sell stuff to whole foods, do you sell more stuff to the kroger's and targets in walmarts of the world? >> we have 2200 items in whole foods today. we are their largest supplier. not everything is organic. we sell a lot of natural progress in gluten-free products. >> how many do you have a kroger? bute have 1700 products there is 3300 kroger's around the world so there is more kroger's. at the end of the day, price is important. if you go back and look on a percentage asis and cook -- and food costs, they keep rising. and summers will make their choice on organic and i think it is so important the difference between price between conventional and organic is 15% and prices have gotten out of whack and i think what whole foods has to do is look at pricing and compare it to conventional products. >> erwin mentioned price and that is the biggest factor for most customers. customers,oods selection is what they determined as the most important buying decision. as organics go mainstream and is whole foods tries to broaden its base, does whole foods need to reduce its selection? >> [no audio] [inaudible] him, we have lost technical difficulties. this is critical when you look at where whole foods goes in the next 12 months. >> what does it mean for you if whole foods east to focus on price? >> we supply food around the world. i am on my way to china on monday. there is 1.3 billion people in china. we just opened up a big office in india, 1.3 billion people there. we are doing was moderate rice -- basmnati rice. when you come back to organic a be food, it is baby food. we own two of the biggest brands and organic baby food. consumers will spend that extra dollar or extra $.50 to buy organic and certain categories. if you think today that health and wellness is our number one key, will you spend for it?

>> this is not the outcome anyone was looking for. clearly, there was a severe clash of egos for this deal getting done. at the companies are being pretty honest about that. they are not catching this and a lot of legalese or jargon. at the end of the day, they said they could not come to an agreement and they bailed out. it's better than going through with that, i suppose, if it was not going to work. >> the human capital goes down the elevator each night in the elevator business. was this about the c-class officers? what kind of bodies was he fighting about? >> i think there were disputes on all sorts of matters particularly who would fill some of the top roles, the chief financial officer being one of them, treasurer, general counsel all the way down. it was billed as a merger of equals and we had the chief executive of publicis sing it came -- it became like an omnicom takeover. i'm sure they will have something else to say about that. there are certainly some bad blood perhaps between these two companies that there wasn't nine months ago when they announced this merger. we will have to see what happens next. your sourcesk to like bankers and lawyers, i wonder if the collapse of this merger will slow the steady flow of mergers and acquisitions we are seeing now particularly in the media/telecom space. >> that's a good question is how much will this affect other transactions. merger of equals are never easy to pull off. a lot of investment bankers are quite cautious about them for that reason. we had some very big egos here. is somethingblicis of an advertising legend. this was seen as so unlikely that when bloomberg news broke this deal nine months ago, for the first 36 hours, nobody believed it. everyone said you must've gotten this wrong. this is always a long shot. >> what goes on from here? what is next for these two big companies? >> i think both of them will have to stay out of dealmaking mode for a while. they have lost their license to do that bubbly after taking their investors and employees down this track for the better part of a year. there is no question there will be consolidation in the ad space and because if you talk to people in these big companies, they see the likes of google, facebook, twitter, apple, that's who they are worried about so they need scale. >> thank you so much. hamm -- thison on "market hamm makers." >> this is no longer the 1960's. >> it's not even 2005. it's all digital space. >> i wonder how the customers feel. they were confused when the deal was going to happen because the competitors thought they were the same company. are they breathing a sigh of relief?

we have the senior fellow at the manhattan institute. welcome. >> good morning. >> is there a war on coal. >> i would say in the was there is but globally, it's clear this is the fuel that has been drawing the fastest since 1973. in the last 10 years, growth in the global coal market is equal combined.dro, the chinese have been producing as much coal powered electricity as they can because it was the fastest route to get them or they wanted to be but nobody is investing more in alternatives and renewables than china. >> that may be true on a dollar basis. >> it's true on every basis. more solar capacity, nor would does more wind capacity than any country in the world. dwarfedables are being by what is coming on stream in coal. look at what's happening in vietnam and india and the blackouts that occurred in india about two years ago are . the indian government said they would produce more coal and import more. >> you are a lightning rod for criticism about the industry. i want you to explain the benefit of coal versus the zeitgeist that is out there. >> it produces electricity, that's the point. that's the point i make in my book. nothing is smaller and faster and lighter than electrons. if you look at the developing vs the undeveloped world, it is electricity. >> right now i can't breathe in shanghai or beijing. do i blame that on: china? >> that's the challenge we face today. how do we clean up the emissions? i'm not a believer in carbon caption in sequestration. >> this is a big deal. what does shanghai do this morning according to your very good research and your support of coal? >> i am reporting the facts. this is what's happening. isally with the u.s. can do export the technologies that allow cleaner combustion and particularly supercritical technology that will allow us to get more power out of the energy in each kilogram of coal. >> if we can produce energy from wind turbines cheaper than coal, why shouldn't we just be putting in more wind? >> the problem with wind energy is low power density. it's a measure of energy flow that can be harnessed given an area of volume. the problem with biofuels and wind energy is you cannot produce enough power from the land required. you get energy sprawl. the word is scalability. coal is a great positive. chem nuclear reactors get to that scalability? >> i am very bullish on nuclear. it faces huge challenges and cost is a big one. how are we going to do with climate change in the long-term, natural gas to nuclear. i want to have a good conversation about this. i want to have robert on what somebody who is less amenable to call. >> the last time it was in china, i blew my nose because it was black because of the: china. >> their coal dependence is a normally -- is abnormally high. >> coming up, demand for sugary drinks is in decline so how does so the string -- how does a sodastream keep their business model going?
