The AG is co-leading a lawsuit against the President’s misuse of emergency powers to fast-track more oil and gas drilling.
When Donald Trump signed an unlawful executive order declaring a “national energy emergency” to fast-track new fossil fuel projects at the risk of our health and environment, California’s Attorney General took action.
Rob is co-leading a coalition of attorneys general who filed a lawsuit to challenge this illegal order in court and push back against this dangerous executive overreach.
The facts don’t lie: the United States is producing more energy than ever. Despite this, Trump is trying to bypass important environmental and health guardrails to expedite permits for non-emergency fossil fuel projects, while excluding solar and wind power.
Emergency powers are meant for real disasters – not for frivolous or partisan matters. Congress even passed the National Emergencies Act to stop presidents from doing exactly this, but as usual, Trump thinks he is above the law.
This isn’t about solving a problem or addressing a real emergency. It’s about the President skirting the rules that protect our air, water, and communities, all for the benefit of his Big Oil and Gas buddies.
We won’t let Trump undo years of progress made on protecting our environment and addressing the climate crisis by breaking the law and misusing his power — not on Rob’s watch.
If you believe in protecting California’s air, water, and future, chip in $5 to fuel our movement. With this president breaking the law over and over again, we can’t afford to let up now.
