No. This is in the legislation. It is in there. There is a provision here for an increase in the pension in response to the government’s misnamed CPRS, so please do not tell me it is not part of my opportunity to speak on this matter. I am making the point that the government, by their process of giving people compensation, are making an admission that the electrical coal fired generating system is not going to reduce pollution. They are going to pay the price. Because they have a reasonably captive market, they are going to send it on to consumers and homeowners.
