Twenty-two states have filed a lawsuit against New York state, claiming that the Climate Change Superfund Act, which requires major fossil fuel companies to pay $75 billion into a fund for climate change damages, is unconstitutional. The lawsuit argues that this law forces energy producers and consumers in other states to subsidize New York-based infrastructure projects.
