Some of the states Trump is poised to target under the new executive order will likely include New York, California and other Democrat-dominated jurisdictions that have sought to extract billions of dollars from the energy sector to line government coffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAmerican energy dominance is threatened when State and local governments seek to regulate energy beyond their constitutional or statutory authorities,\u201d the executive order states. \u201cFor example, when States target or discriminate against out-of-State energy producers by imposing significant barriers to interstate and international trade, American energy suffers, and the equality of each State enshrined by the Constitution is undermined. Similarly, when States subject energy producers to arbitrary or excessive fines through retroactive penalties or seek to control energy development, siting, or production activities on Federal land, American energy suffers.\u201d&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2024\/07\/02\/trade-groups-supreme-court-review-california-electric-vehicles-carb-epa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(RELATED: Energy, Business Groups Ask Supreme Court To Stop California From Forcing EVs On The Rest Of America)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attorney General Pam Bondi will have 60 days to provide a report to Trump outlining laws, lawsuits and other policies to target with legislation or other actions.

These specific contracts stipulate that the private firms will only reap a major payday in the event of the state recovering fees from the defendants, meaning that private attorneys could walk away with millions ostensibly owed to the taxpayers if they are able to land settlements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the climate change tort lawsuits, including those pursued by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/njbia.org\/judge-tosses-njs-climate-change-deception-lawsuit-against-oil-companies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Jersey<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonesday.com\/en\/insights\/2024\/09\/city-of-baltimore-v-bp-et-al-baltimores-climate-change-suit-against-fossil-fuel-manufacturers-dismissed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Baltimore<\/a>, have been dismissed in recent months.

Vermont\u2019s legislation dictates that energy companies responsible for at least one billion tons of global emissions must make payments \u2014 likely billions of dollars \u2014 to the state\u2019s coffers to fund various climate projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats in numerous other states, including Maryland, Oregon, Massachusetts and California, were also considering their own similar laws as of March 2024,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.law.columbia.edu\/climatechange\/2024\/03\/14\/state-climate-superfund-bills-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a>&nbsp;to Columbia University\u2019s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broadly, critics of the climate litigation and \u201cpolluters pay\u201d laws argue that these actions will hamstring energy production at the expense of consumers, infringe on the federal government\u2019s responsibility to regulate interstate commerce and result in a more restrictive and fragmented regulatory environment for energy. Trump mentioned these specific points in the body of the executive order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese State laws and policies try to dictate interstate and international disputes over air, water, and natural resources; unduly discriminate against out-of-State businesses; contravene the equality of States; and retroactively impose arbitrary and excessive fines without legitimate justification,\u201d Trump wrote in the executive order. \u201cThese State laws and policies are fundamentally irreconcilable with my Administration\u2019s objective to unleash American energy.
