So the standards that were there in the mid-1970s when this was established, I don't think fit what's happening right now. So what would it take to reassess that those standards? Well, I think EPA Administrator Zeldin made the right move by saying that we shouldn't be held to those standards because the air quality is coming over. This has actually been a bipartisan effort by Democrats and Republicans for almost 10 years now to try to get the EPA to understand that. And so I'm glad that he agrees with us. (14:57–15:05)
