Over the past decade, Left-leaning states have implemented rules to restrict coal, gas, and oil use while mandating renewable energy adoption. These regulations overstep state authority, seeking to control national and global energy policy. Fortunately, President Trump is working to end this by ordering the federal government to challenge state climate laws.

According to Trump’s Executive Order, states have pursued legal action against energy firms for alleged climate change damages under nuisance or tort laws, potentially leading to severe financial penalties. These state-level actions undermine national security and burden Americans by raising energy costs nationwide, even for those in states without such restrictive policies.

President Trump’s initiative to counter these blue state challenges to U.S. energy independence marks a significant shift from the policies of the past four years.

Essentially, Blue states are laundering green policy through rogue courts. It’s backdoor authoritarianism with a green thumb and Trump is fighting back against lawfare tactics used by states, like Hawaii and New York, who weaponize courts to impose regulations on populations without their knowledge or approval.
