Empowerment Alliance Applauds Public Input from 16 Attorneys General on SEC Climate Change Proposal

WASHINGTON – The Empowerment Alliance today applauded the 16 state attorneys general for their response to a request for public input from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding a proposal mandating publicly traded companies to disclose their detailed emissions metrics.

“The Securities and Exchange Commission’s attempt to implement climate change regulations on publicly traded companies is a blatant overreach of its legal authority. We applaud these attorneys general for being so eloquent in explaining to the SEC how impotent they are with their attempts to regulate climate emissions.

“The SEC doing Joe Biden’s bidding in his war on affordable energy shows you how far his administration is willing to go to push an extreme climate agenda that creates undue financial hardship on countless working-class Americans. Enough is enough.”
