Wyoming GOP Rep. Harriet Hageman introduced legislation Friday to protect American energy producers from being targeted by retroactive left-wing lawsuits.
The legislation bans climate liability lawsuits from being filed retroactively, dismisses pending lawsuits on the date of the bill’s enactment, voids state energy penalty laws and affirms the federal government has sole authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and interstate environmental standards.
Hageman claimed state legislatures are attempting to retroactively punish American energy producers over standards that were legal in the past through climate liability lawsuits and Superfund laws.
“Energy security is national security, and we will not self-sabotage our critical industries with a cascade of costly lawsuits and extreme penalties that jeopardize American drilling,” Hageman said. “America’s energy producers should be protected from the dangerous legal precedent that would be set by the retroactive punishment of lawful activity.”
Hageman’s office said Vermont and New York have both passed “climate Superfund” laws and state legislatures in nine other states are considering similar proposals, including California, Hawaii, New Jersey and Virginia.
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14
