To Whom It May Concern: Please use this section to write your comment to the SWhen 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. He and his executive branch appointees began a crusade against American energy companies – and to fill our energy needs, the President has resorted to begging Middle Eastern countries and Venezuela to increase their production! It’s as if Biden prefers foreign energy production over U.S. production, and WANTS Americans to pay more to drive to work and to heat and cool our homes. 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 proposal is part of the Biden SEC’s crusade to implement the Left’s climate agenda, which is stalled in Congress. 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. And for what? Public companies areEC telling them Americans want energy independence, not more shaming of our oil and gas companies! Regards, Dana Vancleve
