There were 16 potential candidates. I would say scott walker because people have been saying that this guy is completely first met challenged and he has a pulse. He gave some speech that was better than a lot of people expected. He probably came out with more points than anybody because expectations were so low. I would say marco rubio who spoke at the Koch Brothers conference talked about Foreign Policy and a smart way. People were impressed with him which led to concerns and he was young and he got a lot of points for that. And jeb bush for skipping iowa for being disciplined enough to say this is not my crowd and he gave a smart, good speech in california. Walker, he did fine. I have seen a version of that speech. It is a more developed stump speech and people in iowa want to see him. Lets see when he starts going up against people with really develop speech is how he does. On marco rubio, i agree. He was good at the koch event. In terms of jeb bush, being in San Francisco while alm

Industry to make sure we werent being overly aggressive about the ability to have the technologies available for full implementation. Has epa actually quantified how much of the voc reduction the nsps has actually yielded to this point . We do have a good signal from our Greenhouse Gas reporting program that its already been tremendously effective at reducing Carbon Pollution because Carbon Pollution is reduced as youre catching those volatile organic compounds. So we do have a very good sense that this is being effective already. I understand its already about 190 to 290,000 tons. Thats right. Is the estimate. Has epa quantified methane reductions as a cobenefit . We have and i can provide those numbers. I dont have them at the tip of i think i have them. Its about 73 decrease . Excellent.

I think we should support ukraine very strongly financially, i think we should support ukraine very strongly militarily. I think the International Community should do both of those things, those of us who know better about the financial problems ukraine faces. So we ought to be their support.
