💨 Abstract

A coalition of 15 states is suing the Trump administration for fast-tracking energy projects. The states argue that the administration is bypassing key environmental protection laws, potentially harming endangered species, habitats, and cultural resources. Trump's executive order, declaring a "national energy emergency," uses federal powers to expedite oil and gas development, triggering legal action from states including Washington and California. The states seek to block the order, claiming it undermines state rights and endangers the environment.
