Red State AGs Say Hell No To Euro-Climate Change Rules

It’s good to know that state attorneys general are reading the HOTLINE.

We reported last week about the discriminatory European Union’s climate change “sustainability directive” designed to impose “severe burdens” on American companies.

The dead end of green energy and climate craziness in Europe has caused energy prices to rise two to three times faster in Germany and other Euro-zone nations than in America (see chart):

Instead of getting back to affordable energy sources like coal, natural gas and nuclear power that actually work, they want to impose their anti-growth requirements on us.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has come out against the EU rules, and now a coalition of Republican State AGs have joined the chorus of opposition. Their letter to President Trump, first reported by the Daily Caller News Foundation, warns:

The corporate sustainability directive’s disclosure requirements are extensive and burdensome, diverting American companies’ time and energy away from investment, wage growth, and other valuable activities—all in the name of the radical green agenda. Its purpose is to disincentivize fossil fuels, investment, and economic growth, and to put bureaucrats in Brussels in charge of policies directing American operations. This cannot stand.

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
