And a follow-up to that: As an example, I have been over to the Yangtze River. I have seen the construction of the Three Gorges dam. It is truly one of the largest construction projects in the history of the world, much like the projects that occurred on the Columbia River in the 1930s where we attempted to reduce flooding and combat the tremendous source of energy. But my question is, With the potential credits available to them because of the size of that project, wouldn't it be attractive to acquire these credits at a relatively inexpensive price rather than putting in renewables that would be mandated by the amendment?
