Tennessee Bill Lets Judges Call Carbon Emissions 'Zero'

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Tennessees Senate Bill 2560, now awaiting Governor Bill Lees approval, proposes a controversial approach to energy lawsuits. The bill allows judges to deem a companys carbon emissions as zero if theyre less than ten percent of China and Indias combined emissions. This move is seen as a shield for coal, oil, and natural gas firms from climate damage lawsuits, provided they adhere to federal rules. However, critics argue it disregards real science and pollution facts, and could hinder local air quality improvements.
