(The Center Square) - The U.S. Supreme Court appeared skeptical during oral arguments on Monday over whether energy companies could stop a lawsuit seeking billions of dollars in damages over alleged contributions to climate change.
The high court heard arguments in Suncor v. Boulder on Monday, a case to determine whether state and local governments can initiate lawsuits against energy companies using state and local laws. The case originated out of Boulder, Colorado, where the local government accused energy companies of causing injuries under state nuisance laws due to alleged climate change contributions.
