Connecticut Organizations Urge Federal Leaders to Protect Climate Accountability Efforts
- •78 Connecticut organizations are urging federal leaders to protect state-level climate accountability and 'polluter pays' efforts from fossil fuel industry lobbying for legal immunity.
- •The fossil fuel industry's push for federal legal immunity represents a significant regulatory risk, potentially undermining state efforts to hold polluters financially responsible for climate impacts.
- •For large power consumers and developers, this could lead to a shift in climate-related costs from polluters to the public/ratepayers and impact the long-term economic landscape for clean energy development by reducing incentives for emissions reduction.
