  1. Republicans are undoing years of climate progress under the second Trump administration using an unlikely progressive tool: antitrust law.

    Their antitrust strategy, which may pose the next great threat to climate organizing in the U.S., is to sue companies that work together on green initiatives, alleging they are colluding in violation of the antitrust laws. While untested in courts, Republicans are increasingly pushing this novel theory to prosecute organizations that join green coalitions, and they have already succeeded in fracturing many of the world’s leading climate alliances.

  2. So….sue them back for colluding on fossil fuel agendas? Seems any and all industry lobbies need to be broken up as well. Basically ruin any trust or collaboration in any way.
