I believe I have 15 minutes to speak. The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is not an order for time.

EPA has projected that it will prevent premature deaths, that it will avoid hospitalizations, that it will cut asthma exacerbations.
I have a couple of questions here. For the entire panel, a question dealing with the importance of the heavy duty NOx rule.
Those who had the pollution control mechanisms didn't use them, they were able to provide cheaper electricity. That is just not fair.
If I am trying to figure out what is the right thing to do, I try to put myself in other people's shoes.
