Investors and shareholders

[jtr...@epix.net]

That's right. Investors and shareholders can lose, too. One has to think, if the risks are as minimal as they say, and there is absolutely no chance of contamination or permanent negative evironmental impact, why would they not be willing to share their risk mitigation plans with shareholders and the public? Or, admitting they even need such a plan would also be an admission of there being higher risks than they claim, and an assumption culpability on their part?

 

"Why?" is the most profound question of all here.

 

Gas Co. Investors Demand Disclosure Of Fracking Chemicals:

"Oil and gas firms are being too vague about how they will manage the environmental challenges resulting from fracking," said New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, whose office filed a resolution with Cabot Oil & Gas asking for a specific plan to reduce or eliminate the hazards.

"The risks associated with unconventional shale gas extraction have the potential to negatively impact shareholder value," DiNapoli continued. "I urge companies working in this field to share their risk mitigation and management strategies with investors and the public."
