New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act, which charges fossil fuel companies $3 billion annually for climate damages, is being challenged in court by 22 Republican attorneys general, led by West Virginia.

West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey said Thursday he is leading a coalition of 22 attorneys general in a lawsuit challenging New York State's Climate Superfund Act, a recently signed state law that McCuskey said attack's America's energy suppliers.

West Virginia led the charge against New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act, suing to block the law that requires polluters to pay for environmental damage based on how many tons of fossil fuels they emitted during a specific period of time.
