As opposed to everything else that does capture this cost?  Like farming?

Anyway, you know we're going to burn all of it, no matter if it's $60/bbl or $600.  You're not going to "convince" people to stop burning it until there's something more profitable to burn.  Our only hope is to get there sooner rather than later.
