The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 (S.4340) was introduced in the House by Harriet Hageman and in the Senate by Ted Cruz. The legislation proposes to protect energy companies from climate change lawsuits and state-level penalties. This proposal is a response to climate activism in 11 states, including California, New York, and Virginia, two of which have enacted “climate superfund” laws.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The bill seeks to shield U.S. energy producers from legal action related to climate change. Proponents argue that U.S. energy dominance, driven by the shale revolution, provides affordable and reliable power that supports the domestic economy. The proposal addresses legal challenges arising from state-level climate policies.
