mr. harrington noted was really faulty. likewise the differentiation between the fact that people have as customers a vested interest and desire to actually buy clean energy is something that was not reflected and at the end of the day the overall analysis that was done did not include anything about the build out. so even without that, the percentage or the numbers of jobs that were estimated to be lost were pretty minimal but if you look at the entire analysis and consider the build out, it's a different story. i'm pretty confident in terms of the impact on the local economy and i certainly look forward to hearing the rest of the presentation. commissioner mar? >> i would like to thank you for the research on the survey and i also wanted to just emphasize to chair torres question that by strongly promoting program as it's build out with a strong local build out, i think we can make those arguments and more people supporting it in the future. >> and the conversation about what you and i had about education when only 1 in 5
