I want to make one more point before I respond to my friend from New Mexico. A State with a 10-percent mandate, they say, on hydro, would now have to also meet an additional 10 percent--OK? An additional 10 percent, with something new: solar, wind--whatever, under the Federal mandate. I think the States ought to take a look at this. The Federal Government is dictating a 10-percent fuel mix, regardless of your State program. I am happy to yield for a question.
