The American energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. Public natural gas utilities are embracing innovation and cutting-edge technologies that help detect leaks earlier and minimize emissions, which align with the Biden administration’s commitment to curbing emissions and pursuit of a clean energy future. In this era of transition, regulators must make decisions with a keen understanding of the nuances involved in energy distribution. Encouraging continued investment in natural gas technologies — including leak surveying, damage prevention, methane detection and leak grading and repair — can effectively bridge the gap between our current energy landscape and the more sustainable future we all seek.
