 Climate Change
Climate change has generated a tremendous amount of discussion in Congress during
the 1st quarter. Continue to promote the role of natural gas in the climate
discussion by educating Members of Congress and their staff on its benefits and ability
to reduce carbon emissions over time. Support cyber and physical security bills that uphold our current security partnership with the
Transportation Security Administration public-private partnership (no top-down regulatory
process); public-private information sharing; liability protections for information sharing; federal
R&D support; and appropriate criminal penalties for bad actors.
