‘Climate cult' on notice as lawmakers push to let feds hop blue-state roadblocks to ‘US energy dominance'
EXCLUSIVE: The left-wing "climate cult," as one lawmaker put it, will have fewer avenues to throw roadblocks in front of domestic energy production and President Donald Trump's efforts to obtain "American energy dominance" if a landmark effort between members of both the House and Senate is successful. "I am an energy guy from an energy-rich state," West Virginia Sen. Jim Justice told Fox News Digital on Thursday before introducing a bill to prevent state governments less supportive than Charleston from getting in the way of the development, transmission and distribution of reliable energy sources. His House counterpart in the effort, Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., hails from such a place. The congressman said that, in contrast to lawmakers in Justice's state, New York Democrats have "waged an extremist crusade" against developing a crucial multi-state natural gas deposit ironically named for a town in the Empire State. The "Energy Choice Act" has drawn 37 co-sponsors across the House and Senate and gained backing from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who's been touring Alaska this week to promote similar energy development goals. The bill would prohibit state and local governments from placing restrictions on the connection, re-connection, modification, installation, transportation, distribution, or expansion of a source of energy that is sold in interstate commerce and/or is to be delivered to an end-user. Justice, who, as governor, signed multiple bills boosting his state's own renowned coal industry, including slashing severance taxes, said the U.S. energy crisis is "too great" to allow the "luxury of picking the winners and losers." "Americans ought to have the right to choose what is best for their energy needs." Tens of thousands of square miles of the massive Marcellus Shale formation runs through New York, but development has been under a state-sanctioned ban for more than a decade. Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, meanwhile, continue to develop their major caches of Marcellus shale gas, while the piece of the formation in the Maryland Panhandle also remains off-limits. Those bans, said Langworthy, have sent home energy costs "through the roof" in places like New York, which he said is "teetering on the edge of an energy crisis—all to satisfy the radical fantasies of the far-left climate cult." "New York has been ground-zero for the Green New Deal, where common sense goes to die and working families get stuck with the bill," said the lawmaker, a former NYSGOP chairman. That disparity led him to draft the House version of the bill, hoping, in his words, to "restore sanity" to U.S. energy policy and give Americans the choice of affordable and reliable power. They shouldn't be "forced into rolling blackouts to please eco-activists who don't live in the real world," he quipped. "I thank Senator Justice for introducing this bill in the Senate and urge its swift action." Meanwhile, Justice's state remains the second-largest coal producer in the nation, and his Senate counterpart, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito also signed onto the bill. "America needs more energy, and our state and local governments shouldn't discriminate against baseload energy generation that increases security, affordability, and creates good paying jobs across the country, simply because it doesn't align with their political agendas," she told Fox News Digital. Alabama's Black Warrior Basin is another area of the country home to a vast coal power potential developed over several decades. Gov. Kay Ivey in 2025 signed the Powering Growth Act seeking to streamline the permitting process in the Yellowhammer State, and Sen. Tommy Tuberville – who hopes to succeed the term-limited governor – is another top sponsor of the bill. "Energy security is national security," Tuberville has said. "For four years, Joe Biden and woke Democrats took a sledgehammer to American energy production. We need to rein-in blue states who caved to the climate cult and imposed ridiculous regulations that are deeply unpopular with hardworking Americans," he said.

A Better Way to Make New York Affordable
Look alert, New Yorkers: Congress has a chance to cut the cost of living, and it's not the SALT deduction. Rep. Nick Langworthy (R., N.Y.) has introduced a bill in the House that would reduce the cost of federally funded construction projects in the state. New York's Labor Law 240, known as the Scaffold Law, imposes absolute liability on property owners and contractors for construction workers' gravity-related injuries from falling or being hit by a falling object. Enacted in 1885, the absolute liability standard applies even when the worker is at fault.

Protestors rally against Medicaid funding cuts in Corning
CORNING, N.Y. (WETM)— More than 60 people gathered and voiced their opinions on the opposition to federal budget cuts in Corning. The protestors gathered outside of Congressman Nick Langworthy's office in Corning with signs. Some of the protestors claim that Langworthy supports cuts to Medicaid funding. 'Nick Langworthy voted against the over 200,000 people in his district who rely on Medicaid. We're doing this in districts across New York, speaking out and alerting the public,' said Ursula Rozum, a protester. Hector Plant Sale to be held at fairgrounds on Saturday Congressman Langworthy claims that the bill is intended to ensure that people receiving Medicaid are in actual need of it. 'What we're simply asking in this bill, and it's a matter of new law, is if you're able-bodied and you're of working age, and we'll give you one more if you don't have dependence, we're asking you to try to work part-time. Try to enter the economy,' said Congressman Langworthy. Protestors have many questions that they would like to ask Congressman Langworthy. Corning funeral director arrested in Pa predator sting 'Congressman Langworthy, why are you voting to cut healthcare for the people of your district? These are working-class New Yorkers who deserve healthcare and food. Stand with New York's working class, not New York's billionaires,' said Rozum. Protestors hope that their voices were heard and that other people join in if there are more in the future. 'I think it went very well, you know, I wish we could get more people out, but it's mainly older retired people, young people are still working and doing what they have to do,' said Daryl Denning, a protester.
