When we're talking about regulations for the largest final emitters, the biggest polluters in the country, it is bandied about when you ask government how many there are, but there are usually fewer than 50. You can even narrow it down to some of the biggest and most polluting. Since we're talking about the economics of this proposal and the recommendations we want to insert into this bill--I think you're satisfied with it, but many are not--has your organization costed out the potential economic harm to the small and medium-sized businesses if the climate continues to warm?
