It is not clear what disclosure would be allowed vs illegal, so companies are not going to risk it. It will have fallout throughout the industry as banks and governments want more transparent reporting from companies but now it is unclear if they are allowed to provide it.

A lot of research organizations supporting studies on greenhouse gas reduction technologies have pulled down their websites too until there is clarity - even if they are confident in their positions no one wants the expense and hassle of being the first case in the courts.
