I AM an environmentally concerned citizen, and have been for well
over 50 years.  I appreciate your efforts to reduce air pollution
and improve our environment. However, I must ask you to create a
more feasible pathway for small businesses reliant on diesel
powered boats to decrease their negative impact on the environment
than the proposed regulations.  Step by step improvements have been
made and are noticeable already to citizens like me. I agree that
regulations are necessary to drive industry to invest in technology
to reduce their negative environmental effects if those
improvements negatively affect their bottom line. Please create
goals achievable without driving small businesses into financial
ruin. I want you to force improvement while allowing people to keep
their businesses alive. If only large companies with legions of
attorneys are able to stay in business, we will be a weaker country
indeed.
