America Leads Alliance applauds Sen. Cruz and Rep. Hageman on the introduction of The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 that confirms the federal government is the sole source of regulatory authority on national energy policies related to greenhouse gases.
Across the country, coordinated efforts are increasingly using state courts and state-level actions to reshape energy policy in ways that create uncertainty, drive up costs for families, and undermine the reliability needed for long-term investment.
This legislation represents an important step toward confirming that major policy decisions with nationwide impact should be made by federally elected officials, not through a patchwork of state lawsuits and conflicting mandates.
When policymaking shifts away from transparent legislative processes, it creates risk for consumers, businesses, and the broader economy. Ensuring clear rules and accountability helps protect affordability, strengthen economic stability, and ensure long-term energy reliability.
America Leads Alliance supports efforts that bring consistency, transparency, and accountability back to energy policymaking– because when the energy sector succeeds, America leads.
