But I don't see how the regulatory assurance Dr. Sunding is modeling can be remotely justified unless the contractors are paying for both the habitat and the conveyance in the BDCP. In the BDCP proposal, the public would be paying for most of the conservation and potentially accepting the risk.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344751623916759400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236405782975490260.post-3351942052616833952012-06-23T22:35:40.888-07:002012-06-23T22:35:40.888-07:00Regulatory certainty.
