New York Looking At Options After Judge Strikes Down Their Climate (scam) Super Fund Scheme

Well, sticking to the People’s Republik Of New York, the climate cult elites there are having thoughts

N.Y. leaders react to federal judge striking down Climate Change Superfund Act

Gov. Kathy Hochul said New York state is “looking” at its “options of appeal” after a federal judge struck down the state’s Climate Change Superfund Act saying it is preempted by the federal government’s Clean Air Act.

Hochul signed the Climate Change Superfund Act into law in 2024.

The judge’s decision means New York cannot impose strict liability on energy companies for their alleged contributions to global greenhouse gas emissions.

Democratic New York state Sen. Liz Krueger initially sponsored the bill in the state Legislature.

Krueger said she was “expecting it to go this way.”

“We feel very strongly the attorney general needs to appeal this to a higher court, and we believe that we will win,” said Krueger.

Wait, they passed the law always expecting it to be shot down by a judge because it was, among other things, un-Constitutional? The judge involved, Chief U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes, was an Obama appointee, so, it’s not like she was an arch-Conservative. Is Krueger saying she wanted to waste a lot of money on fighting in court on a wing and a prayer that it wins on appeal?

Environmental advocates share that while this is the decision in this case, there are multiple legal challenges that still have to be decided.

“There’s another case in the Southern District of New York brought by the Trump administration,” said Jon Binder, executive director of the Model Climate Laws Initiative for Environmental Advocates NY. “This case was in the northern district of New York brought by a bunch of red states and business groups. There’s also a case in Vermont that’s pending. So, we still have to see what happens in those cases. There’s lots of additional legal steps.”

Remember, climate cultists will never give up on trying to force Other People to comply with their dogma. Even though most of the Warmists do not give up their own use of fossil fuels.
