A Republican congresswoman is taking a stand against climate litigation going through the courts.<\/p>\n

Wyoming Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman and legal experts promoted her Stop Climate Shakedowns Act during a noon briefing hosted by the America Leads Alliance on Wednesday. At the briefing, Hageman declared that \u201cEnergy security is national security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sponsored by Hageman and Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, H.R. 8330 \u2014 the Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 \u2014 seeks to fight against \u201cclimate superfund\u201d laws and climate liability lawsuits. The bill would invalidate state laws that impose energy-related penalties and reaffirm the federal government\u2019s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and other interstate environmental standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can\u2019t get a cap-and-trade through the legislative process. Even in blue states, they can\u2019t get a carbon tax,\u201d Hageman said at the briefing. \u201cSo they decided to turn to the courts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hageman explained that through the courts, climate activists can attempt to get billions of dollars for alleged damages suffered. The briefing\u2019s panelists attributed this strategy to a 2012 conference, where activists and trial attorneys allegedly hatched a plan to bypass federal gridlock through the courts.

Cruz and Hageman\u2019s press offices each did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Donald Kochan, a law professor and executive director of Law and Economics Center, elaborated that these lawsuits start with a \u201cknock on the door\u201d from plaintiff\u2019s attorneys promising municipalities windfall in exchange of a contingency fee.<\/p>\n

The conversation frequently returned to the ongoing affordability crisis. <\/p>\n

Liam Donovan, Executive Director of the America Leads Alliance, warned that these lawsuits create a \u201cdomino effect\u201d on the entire value chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnergy is an input to literally everything we do,\u201d Donovan said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s transportation, logistics, or the widget you order from Amazon \u2026 everything becomes more expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Williams, Solicitor General of West Virginia, added that companies are already beginning to \u201cprice that uncertainty\u201d into future energy costs, effectively creating a hidden tax on consumers long before a verdict is reached.<\/p>\n
