特朗普政府以联邦法为由,就天然气禁令对加利福尼亚城市提起诉讼。 The Trump administration sued California cities over natural gas bans, citing federal law.

特朗普政府控告加利福尼亚州摩根山和佩塔卢马对新建筑的天然气实行地方禁令,声称这些法律违反了1975年联邦法规,该法规限制根据联邦标准对能源产品进行地方管制。 The Trump administration sued Morgan Hill and Petaluma, California, over local bans on natural gas in new buildings, claiming the laws violate a 1975 federal statute that limits local regulation of energy products under federal standards. 这场诉讼是更广泛的联邦努力的一部分,旨在挑战地方气候政策,特别是在加利福尼亚州,那里有几十个城市自2019年以来采取了类似的限制措施。 The lawsuit is part of a broader federal effort to challenge local climate policies, particularly in California, where dozens of cities have adopted similar restrictions since 2019. 2023年上诉法院的一项裁决已经使伯克利的天然气禁令无效。 A 2023 appeals court decision had already invalidated Berkeley’s gas ban. 司法部认为,法令超越了地方当局,造成不适当的费用,而城市尚未发表公开声明。 The Justice Department argues the ordinances exceed local authority and impose undue costs, while the cities have not issued public statements. 该案正等待联邦法院审理。 The case is pending in federal court.
