Industry Impact
Which industries are materially affected by specific provisions in this bill. 1 helped, 2 harmed.
- −Oil & Gasconfidence 0.95
Section 2(a) repeals the exemption for hydraulic fracturing in the Safe Drinking Water Act, bringing oil and gas hydraulic fracturing operations under regulation, which imposes new compliance costs and disclosure requirements on the industry.
- −Pipelines & Energy Infrastructureconfidence 0.90
Section 2(a) includes hydraulic fracturing related to oil, gas, or geothermal production activities within the definition of underground injection subject to regulation, affecting midstream operators involved in fracturing operations and associated infrastructure.
- +Renewable Energyconfidence 0.85
Section 2(a) explicitly includes geothermal production activities in the regulated hydraulic fracturing definition, which could subject geothermal operations to similar disclosure requirements but also may increase legitimacy and oversight, potentially benefiting the industry through clearer regulatory framework; however, the primary impact is on oil/gas, so confidence is moderate.
