Why? They’re just going to spend a lot of taxpayer money and lose again. Oh, right, cult
NY will appeal federal rulings striking down Climate Change Superfund Act
The state attorney general’s office is appealing two recent federal court decisions that struck down New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act and determined the statute which seeks to punish companies deemed responsible for greenhouse gas emissions is preempted by federal law.
The notice of appeals were filed by the attorney general’s office in a case challenging the statute that was brought against the state in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Petroleum Institute, National Mining Association and the Business Council of New York State.
The second case, filed in New York’s Northern District in Albany, was brought by more than 21 states. Several industry groups, including the West Virginia Coal Association, Alpha Metallurgical Resources and the Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia, are also parties to that litigation.
Last month, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Brenda K. Sannes stopped short of declaring the statute is unconstitutional, but ruled that it is preempted by federal law and cannot be legally enforced. She also found the statute is “simply beyond the limits of state law.”
Too bad all the fossil fuels companies won’t simply stop selling their products to the State Of NY while the appeals are going on.
