Oops: Judge Shoots Down New York’s Climate Superfund Law
Yeah, I pretty much prognosticated that this was going to happen
New York cannot enforce $75 billion climate ‘superfund’ law, US judge rules
A federal judge ?ruled on Monday that New York cannot enforce a 2024 state law that sought to force fossil fuel companies to contribute $75 billion over 25 years into a fund to pay for damage caused by climate change.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes in Syracuse, New York sided, opens new tab with 22 Republican ?state attorneys general, as well as industry groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in finding the state ?measure preempted by federal law.
Sannes, an appointee of Democratic President Barack Obama, said the Clean Air ?Act, which gave the federal Environmental Protection Agency authority to regulate carbon-dioxide emissions, did not authorize states to adopt emissions ?compensation schemes such as New York’s.
She said enforcing New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act risked upsetting the balance between preventing global ?warming, “a project that necessarily requires national standards and global participation,” and promoting economic growth, energy production, foreign policy interests and national security.
“The Climate Act conflicts with the overriding need for a uniform rule of decision on matters influencing national energy and environmental policy, and basic interests of ?federalism,” she wrote.
There are no reports about NY appealing this, but, hey, even the speaker of the NY assembly was against it back in 2024. That said, I was actually hoping that the courts would let the law stand long enough to see Consequences happen to the citizens of NY, let them see what their own votes wrought.
