Set energy free again.. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nj-lawsuit-claiming-oil-companies-cause-climate-change-dealt-massive-blow-court NJ lawsuit claiming oil companies cause climate change dealt massive blow in court climate-caused damages in the state.New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin filed a lawsuit against the country's largest oil companies, ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, Shell, as well as the American Petroleum Institute, claiming that the fossil fuel industry was worsening the effects of climate change, and therefore, causing damage to the state.The case was dismissed with prejudice , meaning it cannot be reopened."Plaintiffs seek to regulate the nationwide—and even worldwide—marketing and distribution of lawful products on which billions of people outside of New Jersey rely to heat their homes, power their hospitals and schools, produce and transport their food, and manufacture countless items essential to the safety, wellbeing, and advancement of modern society," said Hurd, who issued the ruling.Energy experts told Fox News Digital that the dismissal sends a clear message that "energy policy should be set by elected officials, not litigated into existence by activist lawyers." "This ruling is a major victory for common sense and the rule of law. Climate activists have been using the courts to push their radical agenda, but judges are increasingly rejecting these baseless lawsuits that threaten energy security and economic stability," Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute and former Texas representative, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
