On April 8, 2025, the president issued Executive Order 14260, which instructed the U.S. attorney general to “identify all State and local laws, regulations, causes of action, policies, and practices burdening the identification, development, siting, production, or use of domestic energy resources that are or may be unconstitutional, preempted by Federal law, or otherwise unenforceable.” The president further directed the attorney general to “expeditiously take all appropriate action to stop the enforcement” of any identified laws and the continuation of any civil actions.
