Michigan's far-left Attorney General Dana Nessel is launching yet another lawfare attack on American energy independence, filing a frivolous lawsuit against BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and the American Petroleum Institute just days before President Trump returns to office with his "Drill, Baby, Drill" agenda.
The timing couldn't be more suspicious. With Trump set to unleash American energy dominance in just two weeks, Nessel is desperately trying to handicap our domestic oil producers with baseless claims that they somehow "conspired" to harm the renewable energy and electric vehicle markets.
Let's be clear about what's really happening here: The EV market is collapsing on its own because Americans don't want overpriced, unreliable electric cars that catch fire and leave you stranded. Meanwhile, oil companies are doing what they're supposed to do – provide affordable, reliable energy that actually works.
Democrat Climate Hysteria Meets Reality
Nessel's lawsuit alleges these energy giants violated antitrust laws by acting "as a cartel" to stifle green energy. But here's what she won't tell you – the oil industry succeeded because it provides what Americans actually need, while the Biden administration's forced EV transition has been an unmitigated disaster.
This is classic Democrat projection. They can't compete in the free market, so they weaponize the legal system to attack successful American businesses. It's the same playbook they used against Trump for four years.
"These companies provided reliable, affordable energy while radical Democrats pushed expensive green fantasies that don't work. Now they want to punish success through the courts."
The oil companies named in this bogus lawsuit employ thousands of Michigan workers and provide the energy that keeps America moving. But to climate extremists like Nessel, American jobs and energy independence are obstacles to their radical green agenda.
Trump's Energy Revolution Coming
Fortunately, this lawfare assault is coming at the worst possible time for the climate cult. In two weeks, President Trump will be back in the White House with a mandate to restore American energy dominance and end the war on fossil fuels.
While Democrat AGs like Nessel waste taxpayer money on partisan witch hunts, Trump will be unleashing the full power of American oil and gas production. The question is: how many more frivolous lawsuits will desperate Democrats file before they accept that their green energy scam has failed?
