To Whom It May Concern: When President Biden took office in 2021, America enjoyed energy independence. But no longer. Biden canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline, destroying thousands of well-paying jobs in the process. The latest assault on American energy companies comes from the SEC in the form of a 500+ page proposal to require public companies to report their various impacts on “climate change.” 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, Lance Black
