They're kind of considered in the energy world, like virtual power plants. If we can embrace a lot of the energy efficiency in different types of models, demand response programs, We may not have to build that natural gas peaker in the future because we've been able to limit the use of that energy. So I think it absolutely has a role. But I think we need to be careful, because if we mandate things through rules, you'll see unintended consequences of much higher utility rates. (07:15–07:22)
