A federal judge just delivered a massive blow to Texas’ anti-green energy efforts, declaring a major 2021 law that restricted state investments in sustainable businesses unconstitutional this week. According to a Reuters report, U.S. District Judge Alan Albright, an appointee of President Trump, made his decision public on Wednesday.
He didn’t mince words, ruling that the Texas law, known as Senate Bill 13 or SB 13, violated key First Amendment free speech protections. This is huge news because it means the state can’t punish companies simply for speaking out about climate change or associating with organizations that oppose the fossil fuel industry.
