The proposed rule will not only add tremendous costs to public companies, it will also result in endless delays in projects due to law suits claiming improper estimates of emissions from upstream and downstream sources.
It seems the intent of this rule is to stifle natural gas companies' ability to meet American and export needs for energy in the future.
We do not need additional governmental barriers to American energy production and transmission.
I also do not believe that it is in the purview of the SEC to be promulgating environmental regulations.
