Episode: ESG Essentials Ep19 - Power Struggles: Federal vs. State Authority in Energy Law
Description: The Trump administration has issued approximately 130 executive orders so far, and many deal with environmental and energy matters.
Listen as David Colvin and Karen Davis, Co-Chairs of our ESG Practice, dive into the emerging themes of these executive orders.
They specifically dig into the details of EO 14260, “Protecting American Energy From State Overreach" — which calls for federal action against localized energy laws — and speculate whether the Trump administration will join litigation challenging energy laws out of New York and Vermont.
The bite-sized episode also explores how this executive order aligns with current EPA policies.
