Big government GOP style: Trump's new energy order puts states' climate laws in the crosshairs of the DOJ
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A new executive order from President Donald Trump that’s part of his effort to invigorate energy production raises the possibility that his Department of Justice will go to court against state climate change laws aimed at slashing planet-warming greenhouse gas pollution from fossil fuels.
Trump’s order, signed Tuesday, comes as U.S. electricity demand ramps up to meet the growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing applications, as well as federal efforts to expand high-tech manufacturing. It also coincides with “climate superfund” legislation gaining traction in various states.
Trump has declared a “ national energy emergency " and ordered his attorney general to take action against states that may be illegally overreaching their authority in how they regulate energy development.
“American energy dominance is threatened when State and local governments seek to regulate energy beyond their constitutional or statutory authorities,” Trump said in the order.

No, energy dominance is threatened when idiots like you don't know how to innovate.
