I think on the issue of long-term targets, to have them as aspirational or objective is one thing, but to have them where the law demands that you have to meet them is another thing completely, and that's what this bill does. If we can't meet them through technological improvements and investment in new plants, it would require us to buy them from abroad, and that's the fundamental problem with this bill.
