Keywords in all that, nt, is "best available technology".

"Best available technology" is exactly what we have, with the dry amine CO2 separation technology, and just as none of us even had the idea that CSMG had paid for the development AND patents(!!!) for FOUR LTC new tools/devices, who knows what else DR has moved forward with/on, with regards to both world-class technologies that CSMG has exclusive rights to?

People paid $2.39 at one time for a piece of this pie, and now they can grab it for .18-.24 again???

I heard something about this on CNN the other day. What they were saying is that this is great except that there is an expectation that anyone forced to do this will fight it in court as being illegal because the EPA is an executive agency and gets it authority from the Whitehouse instead of Congress. The basic belief is that the EPA doesn't have the authority to enforce standards like this without Congressional authority.

I suspect Congress will be taking this issue up anyways so it may be a moot point. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out and one way or another will undoubtedly be good for all of us.
