“I want to point out the comment was made about the precursor to ozone. Thirty years of air pollution regulations. Ask the South Coast Air Basin in Los Angeles. It never regulated CO<INF>2</INF> as a precursor to ozone because it was so miniscule that there are so many other issues that are absolutely essential to address that you didn't even look at that. And if you didn't think those of us in California, that we're working on air pollution, air quality, our county in San Diego went from ``severe'' down to ``serious'' because we were successful. And it wasn't chasing ozone. I mean, not chasing CO<INF>2</INF>. It was tracing true toxic emissions.
