Before fossil fuels, life was brutal and short for basically everyone. In the Suncor case before SCOTUS, Boulder wants to make someone pay for that.

A long recovery. For the death row inmate who was being executed. That they saved with a ventilator and detoxing. What are we even doing?

Climate activists are trying to go around the democratic process to get what they want. Shouldn’t be allowed, and hopefully SCOTUS agrees.

The United States is trying to keep Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon. Colorado is inadvertently standing in the way.

🚨 ABDUL EL-SAYED'S OWN BODYGUARD JUST TURNED ON HIM 🚨 He says the Michigan Senate nominee: ❌ Is a "manufactured man" ❌ Treats staff "like trash" ❌ Has "cartoonishly fake masculinity" 💨 Farts in public… as a comedy bit And the guy saying all this? Wait till you hear what he's doing now 👀

Fake news. This is Dale from Conway South Carolina. He owns a pawn shop.

Very strong speech by Bill Barr on the Suncor case down at the Civitas institute. Very much worth watching. 👇

Suncor v. Boulder County could have major national implications. As @mctoth of @CivitasInst writes in @washingtonpost, allowing local governments to hold companies liable for worldwide emissions could let state courts regulate conduct beyond their borders. A dangerous precedent.

.@mctoth: 'Suncor' is bigger than oil and gas. It is about whether any company meeting global demand for its products can be regulated from any courthouse in America, at any time, for conduct occurring somewhere else.

This means I can watch The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bar Rescue, and Reno 911 on one streaming service. Major W.

We can't allow energy policy to be rewritten in state and municipal courtrooms. It’s the foundation of modern civilization.

“This is not a question, frankly, for the courts.” Former AG Bill Barr makes the constitutional case against state climate suits ahead of Suncor v. Boulder at the Supreme Court. Full keynote ⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=ZNBrT1a6…

Great discussion today hosted by @mctoth of @CivitasInst on Monday's oral argument in Suncor v. Boulder. Thanks to @ISAACforEnergy for excerpting some of my opening remarks. The Supreme Court needs to look under the hood in these cases and get to what is really going on--creative pleading to recharacterize the public nuisance claims as consumer protection claims.

Todd’s remarks were great today. Video coming soon.

Former AG Bill Barr’s remarks at our event today were excellent and right on point. Full video to come tomorrow.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr speaks on why energy is the foundation of modern civilization, and why traditional energy is its cornerstone: “Let's put it right: Homo sapiens have been walking the Earth for 300,000 years, and most of their lives have been nasty, brutish, and short. It only changed 300 years ago, coincident with what? The beginning of the Industrial Revolution, which was based on fossil fuels.” @civitasinst

Former Attorney General Bill Barr at @CivitasInst breaks down Suncor v. Boulder and the key issues at the heart of the case: “It really reflects the basic narrative of the climate movement, which is that greenhouse gases have been accumulating in the Earth's atmosphere for a long time. They build up over a long period of time, and that they are resulting in climate change… What are they trying to regulate here? They are not focusing on activity in Colorado. They're not saying that the activity in Colorado is going to be the basis of liability. They are saying that these companies' worldwide production and sale of oil and gas contributed and enabled, via emissions worldwide, and that has caused the accumulation, and therefore they are responsible for the climate change, the weather that has now adversely affected Colorado. So their damages will ultimately be tailored to Colorado. But the activity that they are saying is the basis of liability are things that these companies do in Texas, they do in the Middle East, they do anywhere in the world, which is producing fossil fuel energy and selling it to people.”

John Yoo, Thomas W. Smith Senior Fellow at @CivitasInst, on states and cities attempting to interfere with national energy policy: “I think an effort by a state to interfere with the national pricing of gas and oil, because of the theory that it has worldwide pollution effects, during a time of war when the enemy’s main defense is to try to drive up the cost of that commodity in the United States, runs into the federal government’s monopoly under the Constitution over national security and foreign affairs.”
