When it comes to civil rights protections or gun regulations, Republicans will back states’ rights ‘til the cows come home. When it comes to holding fossil fuel companies accountable – well, now, that’s a different story.
Lee Zeldin’s EPA has been failing to meet its mission, which is why Hawaii, Michigan, New York, and Vermont stepped in on the state level. These four states have filed lawsuits against fossil fuel companies in order to protect their residents against climate-related damages.
Trump’s Department of Justice then intervened to protect fossil fuel companies and countersue – so much for states’ rights!
During his first term in office, Donald Trump made his anti-environment stances clear by pulling out of the Paris climate accords early on. It was a moment for state governments to step up and take on climate protections when the federal government fell short.
This time is different. Donald Trump has learned his lesson, and this administration’s decision to counter sue states sends a stark message: they don’t want anyone getting in the way of protecting Big Oil, even if it means trampling on states’ rights.
