Regulatory and Compliance Risks - New tariffs and duties imposed by the federal government on imported materials, including steel, could significantly raise costs for the company's fabrication projects[132]. - Compliance with complex and stringent environmental laws may expose the company to liability and increase operational costs, particularly with potential new regulations under the Biden Administration[134]. - Increased focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors by institutional investors may adversely affect the company's financing costs and access to capital[131].
