Michigan AG Targets Oil Firms With Flawed Lawsuit
Liberty Check
Michigan’s outgoing Attorney General Dana Nessel filed a climate lawsuit against major oil companies, alleging anti-trust violations to hinder renewable competition.
The effort echoes a broader strategy of using state litigation to push regulatory ambitions through the courts, despite repeated legal failures nationwide.
- Michigan’s lawsuit is propelled by the same private firms responsible for a multi-year national campaign targeting energy producers.
- Nessel’s anti-trust argument copies recently dismissed lawsuits elsewhere, exposing a lack of originality and legal foundation.
- The state’s business community has openly condemned this action as partisan, wasteful, and destined for dismissal.
This suit doesn’t serve Michigan families but instead attempts to stretch state power by undermining market-driven energy solutions. True progress relies on competitive innovation, not courtroom activism.
The Constitution must be defended.
