The Trump Justice Department is suing multiple blue states over ridiculous progressive climate laws that they claim are unconstitutional and which threaten United States energy security.
Returning the country to a state of energy independence was one of the pillars of Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. It’s extremely important and not just to our economy. Energy independence is a national security issue.
The left wants to destroy the fossil fuel industry and they’ve been quite open about that. Yet as we just saw in Spain, using only green and renewable energy sources doesn’t work.

DOJ sues four blue states over ‘unconstitutional’ climate laws threatening US energy security
The Justice Department (DOJ) has filed lawsuits against four Democrat-led states: Hawaii, Michigan, New York and Vermont, over what it calls unconstitutional climate policies that threaten U.S. energy independence and national security.
The move follows President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14260, Protecting American Energy from State Overreach, directing federal action against state laws that burden domestic energy development.
“These burdensome and ideologically motivated laws and lawsuits threaten American energy independence and our country’s economic and national security,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi…
The DOJ filed complaints Tuesday against New York and Vermont over newly passed “climate superfund” laws, which would impose strict liability on fossil fuel companies for alleged contributions to climate change.
New York’s law alone seeks $75 billion in damages from energy firms. According to the DOJ, these laws are preempted by the federal Clean Air Act, violate the Constitution, and infringe on federal foreign affairs powers.
This is absolutely necessary. When the power goes out, all bets are off.

The far left must not be allowed to dictate energy policy for the rest of the country. They would have us all living in huts, starving and cold.
