Federal Court Protects National Energy Security and Rejects Dangerous State Efforts to Obstruct Sable Offshore Corporation’s Operation of the Santa Ynez Pipeline “States cannot stop the Executive Branch from acting pursuant to Congress’s authorization, especially when it comes to ensuring American energy dominance,” said @ASGWoodward. “The Department is pleased with the court’s decision to affirm this commonsense principle, upholding the Department of Energy’s lawful and constitutional order under the Defense Production Act. This Department of Justice will never allow California or ideological groups to undermine our Nation’s national security and economic prosperity interests in ensuring availability of this critical resource for Americans.” 🔗:
