I got tapped this morning to do Power Grid on CNBC’s Power Lunch as a follow up on my quote in the Wall St. J. and my blog post from yesterday.

You did a great job.
You did a great job.
Too bad the format did not allow you to go into how much tax subsidies these guys have already been given in exchange for promises they failed to keep.
I look forward to seeing you on there again!
