(The Center Square) — The Trump administration is asking a federal judge to invalidate a New York law that seeks to punish fossil fuel companies for their alleged role in climate change.
In a motion for summary judgment, filed late Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Environment and Natural Resources Division asked a U.S. District Court judge to “end New York’s lawless overreach” by “declaring the Superfund Act invalid and unenforceable, and permanently enjoining Defendants from taking any actions to implement or enforce it.”
