restrictions on tankers. We've seen what's happened in oil
tankers when you have high standards in some places and low
standards in place like Panama, and so the tankers are
registered in those areas. Is there a similar situation in
terms of restrictions?
Thirdly, bunker fuel, dirtiest of all diesel fuel,
what is the impact of that? Because that's going to be
burning.
Patterns of wind coming from the People's Republic of
China, you get the coal, we get the shaft. In terms of
pollution coming down.
Also, local concern. I work at Ferndale High School.
I see the fire department is on one side of the tracks, and you
