To Whom It May Concern: I, my family and friends want energy independence, not more shaming of our oil and gas companies! This is a small but vocal bunch of people that have no compassion for the poor and working class and are out to destroy America. One of the cleanest energy country's in the world. Why aren't they trying to help china? On of the worst polluters in the world? Does this small but vocal group really care about the environment? This complicated legislation-through-regulation scheme will saddle companies with huge new costs and enable the “woke” ESG crowd to bully companies – all the while enriching the trial bar, who’ll find new ways to sue productive companies; and big accounting firms, who’ll reap revenue from helping companies comply with these reporting requirements. This will destroy American competitiveness, and make us dependent on foreign governments for cutting-edge products. Even more frightening are the implications for our national security. If we’re dependent on foreign oligarchs and dictators for our energy needs, we are vulnerable to those foreign leaders’ whims and demands. Regards, Laura Harrison
