there is absolutely no reason for such punitive cost burdens

We are going to do our best to make sure it does not get lost.

I think we do all support the need for legislation and the need to support additional trading.

If the Acid Rain Program cannot be extended, what happens to the banked allowances from previous years?

I am just struck by how far we have come, and really struck by how cost-effective this can be.

We think it is more cost-effective than doing these regulations piecemeal.

trading makes a lot of sense with respect to nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide, but not with the neurotoxin mercury.

I intend to join my colleague Senator Voinovich, who has taken the lead in drafting legislation that would provide EPA with narrowly tailored authority to implement CAIR, or its replacement.

At the end of the day, I think we are going to get something done, and it is because of really the participation of everybody at this table.

We didn't feel like it was appropriate for those allowances to be shifted over to the coal generators.

Well, good. Thank you. I think I understood that.
