Marshall’s legal team clinched a sweeping victory that halted New York’s aggressive $75 billion clean‑energy penalty statute, a law that would have imposed massive fines on out‑of‑state power producers. The ruling, which came after coordinated challenges from 21 states—including Alabama—declares the statute unconstitutional for overreaching state authority and violating the Commerce Clause. Advocates say the decision protects regional energy markets from punitive, protectionist policies and preserves the flow of affordable electricity across state lines. The case marks a significant setback for New York’s climate‑driven regulatory agenda and underscores the growing legal pushback against state‑level climate mandates that affect national commerce.
