I agree with a good deal that Senator Voinovich has said. I especially agree with his comment.

The best way to do that is through comprehensive energy legislation.

Well, thank you for that preview, and actually for a very encouraging preview.

Could this rule be litigated and create some further delays?

I have faith that the EPA can write new and stronger rules to regulate these pollutants.

Not only did we get 100 percent utility compliance, we did so achieving greater emission reductions at a faster rate than we expected at about one-quarter of the cost.

I appreciate and thank you for inviting me here today to testify on the work that we are going to do together to mitigate the impacts of emissions from power plants.

We are moving aggressively to meet that commitment in hopes of proposing a rule in early 2010.

We look forward to working with you and providing you the technical assistance you need to move forward.

So we are about 12 years into this without regulations that are fully established.

The process you just outlined for us, it sounds like it could take a while, even without lawsuits. Is that a fair statement?
