“ #ConsumerWelfare, #RevealedPreferences, #regulatorycapture & #meritocracy are just some of the ways that #capitalism's alleged defenders cooked up to insist that they love the competitive discipline imposed by markets while being totally dependent on self-described #capitalists who have utterly escaped from that discipline and have committed to doing everything in their power to prevent themselves from ever coming under any form of constraint.
…
Today, these [ #billionaires ] clutch their pearls at the "demonization" of the ultra-rich, calling it "billionaire derangement syndrome." But the only "billionaire derangement syndrome" that matters is the syndrome that affects billionaires and convinces them that they are above any discipline or rules.” -
OpenAI’s KOSA Endorsement Is Regulatory Capture With A Smiley Face

Thanks for socializing this. Yeah, looking at the bill, I see its first purpose is:
«(1) to develop, and increase the efficiency of, all energy sources to meet the needs of present and future generations»
Yes, the bill does have the gall to say they're doing this for future generations. There will be nothing efficient about energy sources that make the planet so hot that life struggles to survive. Surviving that way will NOT be efficient.
Also from the bill:
«(4) GREENHOUSE GAS.—The term ‘‘greenhouse gas’’ means a gas released into the atmosphere that traps heat, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.»So, in a kind of diabolical irony, though they use the term alleged a lot to make all the things they might get sued over seem contrived, they don't use it here in this passage. That's probably so that any new research newly showing any gas actually does "trap heat" (what causes the planet to warm) will then empower this law to say "oh, then you can't sue over THAT". They know that precisely the gases that heat the planet ARE going to be a problem for them in the courts, because they are being willfully sloppy.
Note, too, the severability clause at the end of this, which anticipates that courts will find a lot of this nonsense and hopes that fragments can stay intact in spite of that.
The article references this document. If it was introduced into Congress, I bet there is a different reference that's better.
The draft bill I was looking at, which I think is not the text of record for Congress, is: https://www.cruz.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/stop_climate_shakedowns_act_of_2026.pdf
I note, by the way, that Cruz's press release says "The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act prohibits frivolous climate lawsuits against American energy producers from being brought in either state or federal court." That's not true. In fact, it DEFINES all lawsuits related to climate to be frivolous. That is far more broad. It does not create criteria for identifying what's frivolous from among ones that might not. It says all climate lawsuits are by their nature frivolous.
Here's the press release: https://www.cruz.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sens-cruz-cotton-budd-lee-introduce-bill-to-combat-climate-lawfare-and-defend-american-energy
