Do you believe that legislation with targets and timetables for mercury, for nitrogen oxide, for sulfur dioxide, could g...
What are your thoughts about this particular allocation process? And could we do something similar for other pollutants?...

In the States, do you have any idea what the average reduction requirements are?
