That's OK. Nitrogen oxide generation quotas will be traded on CBOT,
and the Re-entry Pilots Guild will buy them with members' dues.
If they were accurate enough, and could convince the authorities of

pyrotechnics will you be using?" "Just rocks,") they could also
target loads near population centers on the 4th of July, Cinco de
Mayo, New Year's Eve... :-)
