Amen. I was just in China and we saw their reports in the local press. They're building new power plants they know they don't need. They just want the jobs, more coal emissions. So, again, it's a global challenge. It's not just America's…

I want clean air. I want clean water. But I don't want an organized attack on the energy-producing sector of America because of, to use Mr. McNerney's term, a political decision to go after hydrocarbons.

Well, a lot of us did not believe that to be true.

So many critics say that that flexibility argument--we're giving maximum flexibility to the State--is really a red herring.
