Man, now that’s a real shame when your scam lawsuit gets hit with a lawsuit
US Justice Dept sues to block Minnesota’s climate change lawsuit
The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Monday to block Minnesota from moving forward ?with a long-running lawsuit seeking to hold Exxon Mobil , opens new tab and other ?oil industry participants responsible for harms caused by climate change.
The lawsuit marked the latest in a series of cases President Donald Trump’s administration has filed that have sought to prevent Democratic-led states from ?enforcing laws or pursuing lawsuits that target fossil fuel companies over climate ?change.
Judges have recently dismissed two similar lawsuits that the Justice Department ?filed against Michigan and Hawaii, which are among the numerous states and local governments that have ?in recent years pursued climate-change-related investigations or lawsuits against fossil fuel producers.
The Justice Department’s ?latest lawsuit took aim at a lawsuit that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed in 2020 during Trump’s first term against Exxon, Koch Industries and the American Petroleum Institute. (snip)
The Justice Department argues that through its ?lawsuit, Minnesota ?is seeking in violation of the U.S. Constitution to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, which are the exclusive domain of the federal government.
Ellison in a statement pledged to seek the ?dismissal of ?the “frivolous and meritless” lawsuit.
You mean like Minnesota’s shakedown suit? Have they considered what would happen if they win, namely that Exxon Mobil will simply stop selling their products in the state, and other fossil fuels companies will follow suit?
The same clowns are perfectly happy to take in the almost 4 billion dollars generated each year in Mn. state gas taxes…
US national average price of gasoline hits $4.50
Diesel ??? $5.65
In March renewables supplied more electric kW than #2 natural gas
These lawsuits are nothing more than backdoor tax increases. The oil companies simply pass the costs down to consumers, and the additional revenue fills state coffers, without our elected representatives having to vote on a tax increase.
