Happening in terms of natural gas in the production generated in this country that is far less polluting than coal, and i think on that. Eed to focus we need to look at the carbon generating coal fire plant and make sure that we are not having to dramatic and impact or having a dramatic impact on rate payers, and also, we have to be concerned about the economy in the areas that are dealing with this.
