. -- mercury emissions. and the reason they didn't, because there was not enough reduction, because it doctor we've already cleend up the air a great deal relating to mercury. all of the benefits that they calculated from their rule came from reduction of particulate matter. and in fact they said the mercury reductions would be less than 3/100 of 1% of global emissions. and we've heard all sorts of testimony about mercury that 90% or so of mercury comes from nature or from sources outside of the u.s. so, i don't think we need to be alarmist about this. this is simply an approach to, hey, our economy's pretty weak right now. we're losing a lot of jobs. we're having difficulty creating jobs. so, look, let's just go back, look at this 15 months, come back with a new regulation, set a date for compliance and let's move forward. i don't think that anyone can make a credible, verifiable argument that we're out to destroy every young person in america. every child in america. as a matter of fact, we have a lot of d

mercury. congress required e.p.a. to regulate mercury emissions in the 1990 clean air act amendments and to identify the largest sources of mercury reductions. e.p.a. has done what we required. these regulations are necessary because cement kill ns are the second largest -- kilns are the second largest source of mercury emissions in the united states. some cement kilns emit more mercury than some coal-fired power plants. 150 cement kilns operating in the united states emit as much as 27,500 pounds per year, double e.p.a.'s estimates from six years ago. in oregon, new york, and california the largest single mercury pollution source is a cement kiln. please focus on this. mercury is so toxic, just 1/70th of a teaspoon of mercury or.0024 ounces can contaminate a 20-acre lake and render the fish in that lake poisonous to eat. mercury exposure causes a number of health problems, including heart disease, reduceder if tillity, genetic mutations, immune system suppression, premature death, and major l

and it has been subject to large mercury contamination from mercury airborne pollutants. i would be interested in the assurance that the delay of this bill would not have an adverse impact on my constituents. the demrakes regional collaboration mercury reductions compiled data for the eight great lakes' states and found that in 2005 portland cement plants in these states emitted 1.4 tons of mercury, roughly 4% of the total of 39.4 tons. i would immensely, madam chair, interested in the certification by the president of the united states that indeed, indeed this mercury contamination was not caused by these cement kilns but were caused by natural causes or from foreign sources. this, i think, would vindicate those who are trying to delay this process and it would work toward advancing their theory that economic development should not be hindered by untoward, unproven health concerns. and with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlelady yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> i rise in opposition. . mr. carte

and pure mercury. one other comment i would like to make. our legislation has a minimum of five years to comply with the new rules that e.p.a. may come forth with. and it can go beyond that but that would be at the total discretion of the administrator of e.p.a., and for that reason we really certainly do not have any concern that it would never be set with a firm deadline. in fact, in that legislation we say the compliance deadline shall be set. . a minimum of five years and the administrator may allow it to go further than that. so the argument that it would go on forever and forever, we genuinely believe, is pretty remote. but the simple reason, as i sated -- as i stated, about the scientific understanding and scientific research, between mercury and methyl mercury is the reason we oppose inserting that finding. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? mr. waxman: i rise to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman

and the dangers of mercury. so our legislation would not prevent the states in any way from continuing to do that. the gentleman's amendment would place particular attention on industrial sources, and as we have stated in the debate last week, the department of energy itself has said that over 11 million pounds of mercury were emitted globely from both natural and human sources. and a vast majority of the human sources from the u.s. comes from outside the u.s. so coupled with that fact and the fact that e.p.a. said the benefits of mercury reduction from the boiler mact rules have not been quantified, this really seems to be a duplicative effort because the states are going to continue to issue their rulings, their warnings as they should do so, but it's important that the american people also know that there is a lot of mercury coming from natural sources and also from outside of the u.s., and our legislation i do not believe would put at further risk the american people and their health. and with that i would r

we do not have to choose between manufacturing and mercury. we do not have to choose between concrete and cancer. we can have both clean air and a healthy manufacturing sector. i urge my colleagues to vote no on this terrible republican cancer causing bill out here on the floor today. mr. waxman: i continue to reserve our time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. whitfield: i might note that our legislation does not postpone this indefinitely. e.p.a. has 15 months after passage of the bill to come out with the regulations and five years to comply. the only way they can be extnded beyond five years is if the e.p.a. administrator decides to do so. at this time i would like to yield to the gentleman from georgia, dr. gingrey, a member of the committee, 2 1/2 minutes. the chair: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for 2 1/2 minutes. mr. gingrey: mr. chairman, i rise in strong support of h.r. 2250, the e.p.a. regulatory relief act of 2011. this important legislation will greatly reduce the onerous
