US EditionArizona among states to sue over Trump’s move to fast-track energy projects
- A coalition of 15 states including Arizona filed a lawsuit on May 9, 2025, in Washington state against President Trump's executive order fast-tracking energy projects.
- The lawsuit challenges the order that declared a national energy emergency on Trump's first presidential day, claiming it wrongly uses emergency powers beyond actual disaster needs.
- The plaintiffs contend that federal agencies are circumventing key environmental regulations, including those designed to protect water quality and endangered species, which could lead to serious damage to natural, cultural, and historic assets.
- The lawsuit states the order ‘commands that federal agencies disregard the law’ causing damage to waters, habitat, endangered species, and communities relying on these resources.
- If upheld, the lawsuit could limit federal emergency permitting authority and affirm state rights to enforce environmental safeguards against non-emergency energy expansions.
