Premise: The more I learn about the cost and inefficiencies of the current and future regulatory regime to which power generators will be subjected if we do not have new legislation, the more I am convinced that we can --and must -- develop a smarter approach that protects the environment and public health while reducing the cost to consumers and industry and optimizing the size of both the state and federal government machinery necessary to achieve that protection.

Hypothesis: We need to develop a smarter approach towards environment protection and public health while reducing costs.
