and have worked in both fossil fired power plants and also nuclear plants.i fully support the effort of the epa to reduce carbon dioxide and other gases which are contributing to global warming. i believe climate change is a very serious threat both to humanity and the larger environment. in this respect to support the intent of the epa regulation to reduce carbon dioxide from fossil fired power plants. however, i am disappointed in several aspects of the proposed regulations. these relate to number one, the timeframe specified in the regulations and number two, the reductions in the carbon dioxide reduction in the regulations. in terms of timeframe, there are two issues i see. one, the year 2030 is a full 16 years away. that is a huge amount of time for the utility industry to implement efforts to reduce carbon dioxide pollution, especially with a measure being a 30% reduction. the second aspect is the base here of 2005 is problematic. many utilities since 2005 have closed coal-fired power plants, largely due to the obsolescence and inefficiency as some of

one thing they can do is plant a new seed. they are planting seeds now and if you give them better seats, this might get significantly food. that is an important improvement there. in the u.s., if we had corn plants that need less fertilizer, we can reduce the cost for american farmers and reduce the environmental impact. >> how far off is the end result? >> there are varieties being grown today in africa, asia, america, that have better roots, better yields. that is happening today. double and triple the yields without fertilizer, just by selecting for the better nutrients. when we look at the lines with the good root traits for nitrogen and water acquisition, we are talking a three to four fold increase in yield under drought. in a study published last year, we had an eightfold increase. that was eight times more healed without water. instead of putting on more fertilizers and water, we are just selecting for a better seed. by having a better root system, we can have much better crop. i think the impact is going to continue.
