Abstract

The Trump administration has filed lawsuits against New York, Vermont, Michigan, and Hawaii to prevent them from pursuing damages from oil companies for climate change-related harms. The administration claims that these state laws and planned legal actions interfere with federal policy on greenhouse gas regulation and violate the Constitution. Michigan and Hawaii had announced plans to sue the fossil fuel industry for environmental risks, with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer advocating for clean energy initiatives. Despite the federal government's shift towards fossil fuels, some states, like Michigan, are aiming to be fully powered by carbon-free electricity by 2040. [Extracted from the article]
