A New York law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul which would impose up to $ 75 billion in liabilities on large fossil fuels companies by forcing them to pay in a “super-full climate” according to their emissions would only harm the companies themselves, the Virginia-Western Public Prosecutor, JB McCuskey, would Friday.
“It would be catastrophic, not only for the economies of Virginia-Western, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, but economies of each state,” said McCuskey, because these states are likely to see the most negative effects because of their role in the New York network.
“If we do not have access to reliable and inexpensive electricity and the only way to do this at the moment is with fossil fuels, the energy bills of each American will soar.”
McCuskey warned that it is these same energy companies that provide habitable conditions and convenience to the same inhabitants of New York who stimulated the policy.

The skyscrapers strewn the city relied on the Pennsylvania Steel and the Power Virginie-Western to be built in the first place. McCuskey said it was “ironic” to see “people at Manhattan to look at them – it is this coal power that they now claim to destroy their city.”
McCuskey, leading to a note of other states trying to stop New York law, said that costs will increase in all areas, especially for basic products, transport and other concerns that are not immediately considered to be directly linked to fossil fuels or physical infrastructure.
Hochul has refuted such opposition, saying that the increasingly strong weather patterns are increasingly in charge of New Yorkers with billions of dollars of “environmental consequences – due to polluters who historically harmed our environment”.
“The establishment of Climate Superfund is the latest example of my administration by taking measures to keep pollutors responsible for damage caused to our environment and requiring major investments in infrastructure and other essential projects to protect our communities and economies,” said Hochul in a statement.

McCuskey added that a second costume is also confronted with the similar law of Vermont in 2024 – although he warned that the version of Green Mountain State did not have a ceiling of $ 75 billion as the neighboring state of empire.
The Republican Governor of Vermont Phil Scott refused veto or to sign this law, making him promulgated.
The representative of the State Martin Lalonde, D-South Burlington, predicted that “Big Oil will beat this before the courts”, but declared in a press release at the time that “the issues are too high and cost too high for the Vermonters to disclose companies which caused this mess to clean it”.
The hearings in New York costume is expected to start in July, said McCuskey, and he expected what happens in the judicial power of Albany, the Supreme Court will probably have to have the last word.

A dozen other states, including Illinois, Massachusetts and California, are continuing similar legislation, said McCuskey, so that the liters could soon have their hands.
“The New York affair is so incredibly important, $ 75 billion is scandalous. But if that were to represent $ 75 billion X Number of states, this becomes the type of writing that energy companies failed,” he said.

A prosecution in Louisiana brought by the coastal parish of Platemines recently cost billions of rafters for the stated pollution complainants that they were caused by its subsidiary Texaco – although decades ago, before the two companies were linked.
McCuskey said that energy development and coal and gas industries are so inextricably linked to West Virginia as a loss would be just as catastrophic for mountaineers.
In the state, prepared to celebrate its 162nd anniversary Friday, the concerns concerning the mine of the energy industry were a rare bipartite point on any state or federal problem.
Then-sen. Joe Manchin, DW.V., so enraged the actress Bette Midler to oppose the arrangements of the “build back” plan of the president of the time, Joe Biden, that she ranked the Virginians-Western as poor and “blocked” and wrongly exercising political power to have only the “size of Brooklyn” population.
Manchin and now-Sen. Jim Justice II – Then the Governor of the State – did not gently take this characterization, with the justice which went to the ground of the house in Charleston and by holding his bulldog, Babydog – declaring that Midler could “kiss Heiney”.
