One country in which Energy operates has no legislation requiring cleanup, and Energy has inadvertently contaminated land in that country in prior years. As of December 31, 2011, it is virtually certain that a draft law requiring a cleanup of land already contaminated will be enacted, but not until shortly after the year-end.
