Well, and in a broader context, I want to go back to our prior conversation on the green jobs, the green collar jobs. One of the things that we see in Colorado, and I think this can be nationwide, is that there are thousands and thousands and thousands upon thousands of jobs in the green industry, in the energy industry with renewables and with energy efficiency in housing. There are thousands of jobs, and they are jobs here in America.
