And I do think public service commissions, public utility commissions are sort of deciding on a state by state and agency by agency level. Some [public utility commissions] are asking that whatever increment of new electricity, of new load that is being added to the grid is clean. That sounds good. Unless all they're doing is crowding out. You know, if they're just capturing projects that were already going to happen that were wind and then, you know, the rest of the grid is on coal and lng.
