We know that 23 percent of the weight of a car has been reduced over the numbers of years. That has increased the number of rollovers and increased the number of deaths.
I think we all realize that through the CAFE standards it is going to have virtually no impact on the global climate change.
I appreciate it. I hope that we can do something, because at $10,000 a year that is after taxes...
We are still waiting for that call about it, because we only have one exchange in the state.
I think I am going to address my remarks primarily to Mr. Slavitt, if I could, please.
This past year we had a 24 percent hike in our premiums and now they are--excuse me.

It's my understanding that this hearing was to examine the effects of major regulations on the energy and the industrial sectors.
I think we have a unique situation with a small refinery that is being penalized because they are producing far more diesel than gasoline.
But the EPA imposes the same proportional RIN obligation on all refiners, even some that produce significantly more diesel than gasoline.
They emphasized kind of some global organizing, collaborative or campaign. How could we go about such an effort?
