Bondi to recommend \u201cpresidential or legislative action\u201d necessary to stop their enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such actions already cued up by the White House during the administration\u2019s first 100 days include&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/trump-dismantles-climate-policies-on-first-day-in-office-9c0d4b61?mod=article_inline\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">imposing tariffs<\/a>&nbsp;on renewable equipment imports from China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal regulations and monetary impediments imposed on hydrocarbon energy producers have been costly, in turn passing these economic burdens on to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May of last&nbsp;year,&nbsp;Vermont passed a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.vermont.gov\/bill\/status\/2024\/S.259\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Climate Superfund Act<\/a>&nbsp;holding \u201cfossil fuel extractors\u201d or \u201ccrude oil refiners\u201d responsible for \u201ccosts due to climate change\u201d and seeking millions of dollars in damages for greenhouse gas emissions produced from 1995 through 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law was premised upon assertions that the state\u2019s 2023 floods resulted from climate change caused by oil company emissions, conveniently ignoring the fact that the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/media\/btv\/events\/1927Flood.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Great Vermont Flood<\/a>&nbsp;of 1927, the worst in the state\u2019s history, happened when&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/co2-and-greenhouse-gas-emissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">global CO2 emissions<\/a>&nbsp;were only 10% of current levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York followed Vermont\u2019s example last December with its own&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nysenate.gov\/legislation\/bills\/2023\/A3351\/amendment\/B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Climate Change Superfund Act<\/a>&nbsp;law which will impose a huge tax on fossil fuel producers seeking to collectively fine them an estimated $3 billion annually beginning in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maryland has joined Vermont and New York in blaming fossil energy companies for climate change in passing a \u201cResponding to Emergency Needs from Extreme Weather&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ccanactionfund.org\/maryland-general-assembly-passes-first-step-to-make-polluters-pay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Act<\/a>\u201d this month to \u201cmake

noopener\">Oregon<\/a>&nbsp;voters rejected a similar proposed superfund statute this month, it is among more than two dozen states, including California, Washington,&nbsp;and&nbsp;10 Northeast states, that have passed cap-and-trade laws&nbsp;which&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c2es.org\/document\/us-state-carbon-pricing-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">require<\/a>&nbsp;companies that emit CO2 to buy allowances in trading markets, then deliver them to state governments based on their emission levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, such acts of legislative overreach are finally encountering legal pushback from environmental realists along with industries that green zealots are attempting to destroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last February, a coalition of 22 state attorneys general along with several industry associations&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/environmentalenergybrief.sidley.com\/2025\/02\/12\/states-challenge-new-yorks-climate-superfund-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">filed a lawsuit&nbsp;<\/a>against New York officials responsible for implementing and enforcing their superfund law on constitutional grounds that neither Congress nor any state can pass an \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/browse\/essay\/artI-S10-C1-5\/ALDE_00001101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ex post facto law<\/a>\u201d which imposes criminal liability for past actions that weren\u2019t restricted at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among other charges, plaintiff states argue that New York\u2019s attempt to interfere with&nbsp;economic&nbsp;interests of sister states violates the Constitution\u2019s Supremacy Clause by infringing on \u201cequal sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And since New York is not home to the majority of companies targeted by the Act but rather imports 85% of its energy needs from elsewhere, the plaintiff states also charge that its law violates Commerce and Foreign Commerce Clauses \u201cby discriminating against out-of-state energy producers and imposing excessive penalties that burden interstate commerce, while benefiting local New York interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas some of these suits have been defeated, most are still in process or&nbsp;in&nbsp;appeal, while none, to date, have been awarded monetary damages against the fuel companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As swing state Virginia remains bound by a 2020 law mandating a 100% switch to renewables by 2050, massive increases in state electricity demands posed by huge new state AI data centers can be expected to present&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/opinion\/renewables-head-on-collision-with-reality-5647742\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a harsh reality check<\/a>&nbsp;on puny, unreliable green energy capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add to this real environmental considerations as&nbsp;meanwhile&nbsp;the Trump administration halted plans last week for a sprawling Long Island wind farm called Empire 1, claiming that its&nbsp;<a
