Midway through 2026, energy is the issue of the moment.
The standoff in the Strait of Hormuz, soaring gas prices, the race to build AI data centers, and intensifying competition with China all point to the same question: Who will produce the energy that powers the modern world?
That question is headed to the US Supreme Court.
In a few months, the justices will hear arguments in one of the most consequential energy cases in decades, Suncor v. Boulder County.
It’s one of dozens of lawsuits brought by progressive state and local governments seeking to make oil and gas companies pay for global warming.
The high court’s decision could determine not only the future of climate litigation, but whether the United States remains an energy superpower.
If the justices greenlight Boulder’s climate claims, the sky’s the limit on the liability costs the energy industry could face.
The lawsuit cites damages “in the billions of dollars.”
That’s just a starting point — in an identical case, a single Oregon county is seeking more than $50 billion in climate damages.
Together, these cases threaten to extract hundreds of billions of dollars from America’s energy sector.
And make no mistake, these costs would be passed on to consumers, just as green mandates have spiked gas prices and electricity bills in California, New York, Europe, and elsewhere.
The architects of these lawsuits openly admit what’s going on: One of the legal strategists behind the Boulder case has said that the goal is to impose a de facto “carbon tax” through the courts.

What laws have been passed to allow this?
earthjustice, funded by China, is defending NCPA to stop critical mineral mining in CA (Colosseum) in the Mojave.
Earthjustice has won a whopping $5m in the past year in lawsuits but recieve $207m from nefarious entities to stop progress for our nation’s autonomy
What global warming?
Earth JustUs (Us - China)
Sometimes, science fiction becomes science fact. Imagine, if you will, a future offshore SpaceX launch/landing platform. We have already seen the huuuuuge SuperHeavy Booster return to Earth and be captured by the huuuuuge chopsticks. And the Falcon 9s have returned to Earth and landed hundreds of times. This platform could launch, land, refurbish. Do it all.
California has huuuuuge deposits of oil and natural gas. They just won’t drill for it.
So, this huuuuuge launch/landing platform is off the coast of California. Underneath the platform, they construct drilling that will use the amazing horizontal drilling techniques. Drill straight down offshore, then drill horizontal into California.
One can dream.
Well shoot.
Can’t afford the phantom carbon tax so just shut power off to those areas.
Can’t do much lawsuite’n with no power for the `puters/printers/courthouse etc.
.
Right. AKA EarthNotYou
And, pay who for global warming? Earth?
The answer to that question exposes the fraud behind it.
