“This burden and theoretically motivated laws and legalism threatens US energy independence and our country’s economic and national security,” said Palm Bondy, US Attorney General Palm Bondy in a statement.
The Trump administration announced Thursday that it had filed a lawsuit against the four Democrats -led states in an attempt to prevent “burden and ideologically encouraging” claims against the oil and gas industry.
According to Reuters, the US Department of Justice filed two separate claims against Vermont and the New York states, both of them recently adopted the rules in which oil companies needed billions of dollars in climate change funds. New York is expected to raise about $ 75 billion from the fund. The data that the Justice Department says is proof that the state is running a “transparent monetary extraction scheme”.
The Trump administration is also prosecuted by air and Michigan. The two states have approved the rules that the Department of Justice claims a “extraordinary extra -judicial leak” that disrupts the right to manage some of the federal government.
Several legislatures target states planning to take the oil and gas industry to court.
Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nestal, whose office last year hired an outside lawyer to handle the climate change, said the Trump administration’s attempt to prosecute the trial was “extremely irrelevant and reasonable approval.”
“I am baseless with my intention to file a lawsuit with the president and his big oil donors,” Nestal said in a statement.
The White House, on its own, has doubled its politically charged rhetoric.
US Attorney General Palm Bondi said in a statement, “This burden and ideologically motivated laws and legalism threatens US energy independence and our country’s economic and national security,” said Palm Bondy, the US Attorney General, Palm Bondy, in a statement that the Department of Justice is expected to be reliable.
In judicial filing, Bondi’s office said the four states were actively hindering the administration’s efforts to strengthen domestic energy supply.
“At a time when states should participate in national efforts to secure reliable sources of domestic energy,” the Department of Justice wrote in a court jurisdiction, four of the plaintiffs are choosing “standing” on the way.
The lawsuit alleges that “the constitution and laws of this nation do not tolerate this interference.”
But New York’s Attorney General Latia James has described the issue in different ways, saying that his state’s climate “super -fund” law “ensures that those who participate in the climate crisis help pay for the damage.”
A state senator in Vermont, who supports the climate change rules in the state, suggested that the sudden intervention of the Department of Justice could indicate that the Trump administration was concerned about the potential effects of legalism.
“The fact is that it has gained the White House’s attention in my mind, tells me that we are doing something right now, because what we are seeing by the Trump administration tells me that it is an important law on which other states should follow it,” told WCAX.
Many of the plaintiffs are facing premature superstitions of the oil ACND gas industry.
