go ahead and plan that and deal with the deep green as the pg & e green tariff moves forward as we learn more about that. what i would like to see done is do more market research to determine what is a deep green product that san francisco want to see. if you are going to put that green rate and use that money to do a larger build-out for more renewables. maybe in the beginning it's not the greenest program but gives us the ability to build that green program or do people just care about getting that green electricity now and our program needs to launch that way. and we need to determine what people really want. i think in some cases we split the two items up and figure out the light green, the base product and move that forward now and get the contract in place. maybe we are not launching this year but we have everything in place and ready to launch what that time comes and the staff are going to be able to do the research and know where they are and hire everyone and getting everyone in place and when we launch it we have time to do the other stuff. that was not my talking points that i wanted to bring up and we can go with pu
