"yet another legally incoherent effort to regulate by lawsuit. It won't reduce emissions, it won't help consumers, and it won't stand up to the law."
"baseless" and "part of a coordinated campaign against an industry that powers everyday life, drives America's economy, and is actively reducing emissions."
"We continue to believe that energy policy belongs in Congress, not a patchwork of courtrooms,"
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed a federal suit last month against BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell and the American Petroleum Institute under federal and state antitrust laws. The complaint alleges the companies conspired to delay the transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles and to suppress competition from cheaper clean technologies such as solar and EVs, thereby driving up energy costs. Michigan joins nearly a dozen other states pursuing climate-related litigation but pursues antitrust theory rather than deception claims. Industry defendants called the case baseless and argued that energy policy belongs in Congress. The litigation faces possible dismissal challenges.
