| a Sensitivities are based on current assumptions of prices and rates and show the effect for a full 12 month period. Sensitivities can vary significantly at different price and rate levels. The energy price sensitivities do not include the potential impact of price changes on the revenue from land lease sales. The interest rate sensitivity is based on estimates for new and refinanced taxpayer-supported and self-supported debt. | ||||
