President Donald Trump, among a flurry of energy-related executive orders on April 8, has instructed the Department of Justice to review state energy rules and regulations so it can challenge any that may be overreaching.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is directed to identify any state laws, regulations, policies, or practices that “are or may be unconstitutional, preempted by Federal law, or otherwise unenforceable,” according to the new order.
