华盛顿9月22日路透电 — 美国一名法官周二驳回了密歇根州的一项反垄断诉讼，该州指控四家大型石油公司合谋阻碍包括电动汽车在内的可再生能源领域的竞争，这一裁决与此前类似案件的判决一致。
大急流城的美国地区法官简·贝克林驳回了密歇根州总检察长、民主党人达娜·内塞尔于今年1月提起的诉讼，被告包括英国石油公司、雪佛龙、埃克森美孚、壳牌以及美国石油学会。

法官表示，除了能源收费过高这一损害外，反垄断法并未针对密歇根州寻求救济的其他任何损害提供保护。
贝克林称：“所谓的共谋与密歇根州及其居民面临的收费过高之间的关联太过薄弱，无法认定该共谋直接导致了收费过高的问题。”
诉状称，这些公司试图“限制电动汽车和美国可再生一次能源技术的兴起”。
此前已有其他法官驳回了类似的气候诉讼，包括特拉华州、马里兰州、新泽西州、纽约州、宾夕法尼亚州、波多黎各和南卡罗来纳州的相关案件。

雪佛龙的一名律师此前曾称密歇根州的诉讼“毫无根据，多起相关法院驳回判决已证明这一点”。
多年来，雪佛龙及其他石油公司一直在应诉各州和地方政府提起的诉讼，这些诉讼试图让它们为气候变化承担责任，其中许多案件仍在审理中。
特朗普政府已采取一系列行动，放宽汽车制造商生产电动汽车的要求，并提高消费者购买电动汽车的成本，推翻了拜登政府的相关政策。

WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) – A US judge on Tuesday dismissed an antitrust lawsuit in which Michigan accused four major oil companies of colluding to forestall competition in renewable energy, including electric vehicles, a decision in line with prior rulings in similar cases.
US District Judge Jane Beckering in Grand Rapids rejected the lawsuit filed in January by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, against BP, Chevron, Exxon, Shell and the American Petroleum Institute.

The judge said antitrust laws protect against none of the injuries for which Michigan sought a remedy, except for energy overcharges.
“The distance is too great between the alleged conspiracy and Michigan’s and its residents’ overcharges to find that the conspiracy proximately caused the overcharges,” Beckering said.
The complaint said the companies sought to “restrain the emergence of electric vehicles and renewable primary energy technologies in the United States.”
Other judges have rejected similar climate lawsuits including in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico and South Carolina.

A lawyer for Chevron previously called Michigan’s lawsuit “baseless as demonstrated by multiple related court dismissals.”
Chevron and the other companies have been fighting for years against lawsuits by state and local governments seeking to hold them responsible for climate change, many of which remain pending.
The Trump administration has taken a series of actions to make it easier for automakers to avoid building electric vehicles and make them more expensive for consumers to buy, reversing Biden administration policies.
