"the bill seems to encourage limiting the time of operation to the time of the emergency need, but it is not mandatory."

"I fear the sweeping language of the bill provides that any action necessary to comply with the order that results in an environmental violation shall not be subject--not subject to party's liability."

"I understand the concern that is motivating the supporters of this bill, but the bill languages goes way beyond what I think is necessary to address that narrow concern, so I agree with your views."

"So when operating under a 202(c) order, should a plant be allowed to run without limit, or should it only be allowed to run when needed to address the reliability problem?"
