From the transcript
But it would be nice to know the sensitivity of that. And I would suggest that on the interest rate you use, not something below 5, but use the government bond rate.— as a base. I think the Department of Energy was talking about 20-year bond rate plus 3/8 and then step it up. I don't care if you step it up a half percent at a time or something like that, so it's easy to do just because it's linear in the relationship. So we can get an idea if the interest costs advance on us.
