"The U.S. Department of Justice has filed lawsuits against four states this week, all of which have Democrat governors, over climate change directives the DOJ claims conflict with federal authority and President Donald Trump’s energy policies.On Wednesday, the DOJ filed lawsuits against Hawaii and Michigan over their planned legal action against fossil fuel companies for what they have described as adverse environmental effects. Additional lawsuits were filed against New York and Vermont over their respective climate superfund laws, which would require fossil fuel companies to pay into state-based funds based on previous greenhouse gas emissions. “These burdensome and ideologically motivated laws and lawsuits threaten American energy independence and our country’s economic and national security,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “The Department of Justice is working to ‘Unleash American Energy’ by stopping these illegitimate impediments to the production of affordable, reliable energy that Americans deserve.”
