there's the ozone rule which the president himself had to withdraw. there's the coolant rule which seems to have no benefits. there's even talk of a farm dust rule, which senator johanns is talking about. so why aren't we talking about those instead of a proposal to make it easier for dirty air to blow in our state, make us unhealthier, drive away tourists and cost us auto jobs? the senator from kentucky says it will cost. it will cost. his sources say 2%. the tennessee valley authority, the largest public utility in the country, says it's $1 to $2 a month. $1 to $2 a month, that's a reasonable cost for what we're getting. closing 18 coal plants, operate 38, putting pollution control equipment on all of it. that means we're healthier, that means more jobs, that means more tourists. the senator from kentucky says he -- dimensions are declining. that's true. in kentucky they are not declining. soot went up by 20,000 tons in kentucky according to the e.p.a. between 2009 and 2010. some of that might blow into tennessee, drive away jobs, drive away tourist

ozone can travel hundreds of miles with the help of high-speed winds known as the low-level jet.his phenomenon typically occurs at night due to the ground cooling quicker than the upper atmosphere, which can allow the low-level jet to form and transport ozone and particulate matter with its high winds. this wind map shows that condition. these are all the midwestern power plants, and this is the wind that carries them down here to, among other states, rhode island. five states on this map -- ohio, pennsylvania, west virginia, illinois, and north carolina -- have been identified by e.p.a. as contributing significantly to rhode island pollution. this electricity that comes from uncontrolled power plants tied to these tall smokestacks, it might seem cheaper to consumers than a well-controlled power plant, a power plant that's scrubbed instead of smokestacking its pollution. but that is really not so. there are costs. the cost just got shifted. the lungs of children and seniors in rhode island and other downwind states pay for that cheap electricity. and frankly, truth be told, the l

secondly, ozone, the national ambient air quality standards. that would be about a $678 billion loss in g.d.p. by 2020. incidentally, i failed to mention the greenhouse gas regulations, they would be in excess of 300 bpped to 400ed about a year. the boilermac regulations, that would be loss to g.d.p. that is the maximum achievable technology. in other words, one of the problems with all these mat bills that is coming out of the administration is that there is no technology available to -- to carry out the mandates on emissions. cement mat. fortunately, in september, president obama withdrew the e.p.a.'s proposed ozone standards. there is a good reason for this. for one reason, the ozone standards are supposed to be predicated on new science. this is on the same science that the lasso zone changes were based on, and i think when people caught onto that and they recognized what it would cost -- i know in my state of oklahoma, we would be looking at some 15 counties that would be out of -- out of attainment, and there is nothing more dreadful that

greenhouse gas regulations would be somewhere between $300 billion and $400 billion lost each year, the ozone which they postponed but nonetheless they proposed it, would be $676 billion in lost g.d.p. -- do your math on that, for each $50 billion -- for each 1% -- and 1% is $140 billion so for each 1% it would be about $50 billion loss in revenue. boiler mack, $1 billion loss in general g.d.p., utility mac, that's what they've been talking about across state lines, $140 billion in compliance cost, cement mac. all of these are shall, are huge losers in terms of revenue that can be generated. so by only like to say, and i wish i had time to get into more detail on this, shortly we'll be voting for the -- voting on the mccain amendment numbered 928. it has a lot of great features in it but one that's been almost overlooked is the feature that would take away the jurisdiction of the environmental protection agency to regulate greenhouse gases. and this was the upton-inhofe bill, my bill actually was -- tested here, we had a majority of people who are in support of it. it passed overwhelmingly in

pe in rhode island specificallyzone only 5% of ozone pollution is from local or in-state sources, 5%. 95% comes from outside of our borders particularly the trapo midwest. it is transported. that is at the heart of this rule, to give us a chance not only to protect ourselves and to pollu control heonr own pollution but not be subject to the additional cost as this pollution moves t across the country. we are in a situation where we are essentially being imposed upon dramatically and this ruleo will try to strike the proper balance, and it will try toose incentivize those producers of pollutionpr to prevent theet u pollution. it will let us be more competitive. it will allow us to go ahead and essentially have a much more level playing fveield when it comes to what we are all talking about, creating jobs. it is awfully tough to look at businesses that are making progress and being told that one of their key cost is electricity in one of the key factors is all the pollution controls that we have to put in place not becauseenerin of what we are generating but because of 95% of our pollut

in the mid continent regions like we are in, it builds up over thousands of years, and there are ozonesakness like this fault that is 300 million years old and eventually something gives away, and it happens very infrequently, but it does happen from time to time. jenna: it does. and i can say, obviously speaking from experience, we're a little snobby out in california about our earthquakes. we think we are the only ones that go through it. i was very interested to read about if you live in oklahoma you do get earthquake insurance, or you usually do, that is something typical, and of course the question when any earthquake happens is when will it happen again. professor, is there any -- do you have any predictions about that? or what should people expect? >> well, the reasonable expectation of course the earth is very complicated, so we're all -- when we make progress knows tpredictions we are all nervous that something can happen. with the die off in the half shocks i would think this is kind of the maximum stress release we'd expect in this part of oklahoma, and that is over, and it w
