There's been a lot of study going on over the last little while, and I will say I think this will hopefully be the last of these, because this was a really bad one. I know Gavin's committed—we're all committed

I'm committed to making sure that we get all of this cleaned up and protected. We can take care of the forests—you know, the floors of the forests are very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently, and it's a whole

different story. I was with the President of Finland, and he said, 'We have a much different approach; we're a forest nation.' He called it a forest nation, and they spend a lot of time on preventing and cleaning up issues, and they don't have any problem, and when they do, it's

a very small problem. So I know everybody is looking at that to that end, and it's going to work out well.
