Well, maybe that could--maybe I'm missing something here then, because, to clarify that point, that may be the suggested use or some sort of understanding, but I don't think there's anything that requires or stipulates that any member nation would use those penalties that would be assessed if somebody doesn't have allowances, the financial fees that would be assessed, that would then have to be used for reducing emissions.

Unfortunately, I think after two government shutdowns that have extended for a long period of time, it’s better for everybody if there’s predictability, certainty, and just to take that issue off the table.
