And Ohio as we do about these alternative energy programs that we are subsidizing. No one is subsidizing those coal miners; no one is subsidizing their families that have lost their means of living, but we are going to subsidize all these other companies--maybe they are doing good things, maybe they are not--because we have a lopsided understanding about how to produce energy in this country.
