【福克斯新闻独家报道】:据福克斯新闻数字频道首次获得的一份新报告显示,如果针对石油和天然气企业的“反能源”气候诉讼胜诉,美国家庭每年的能源成本平均可能额外增加1465美元。

“如果极左翼‘得逞’,美国人的支出将大幅增加,”传统基金会首席经济学家E·J·安东尼警告道。他与“未来能源”组织创始人丹尼尔·特纳共同撰写了这份报告。

报告估算,数百起诉讼以及其他州级“气候超级基金”法案可能推高汽油、电力以及美国人日常依赖的其他必需品的价格。

福克斯新闻数字频道获得的这份新分析报告发布之际,美国最高法院下个月将审理一起备受关注的科罗拉多州博尔德县诉讼案,该案可能从根本上重塑气候诉讼的未来走向。

“如果这些反能源的极左翼人士得逞,你的生活成本将会上涨,”安东尼告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,“你的家庭将要支付更多的费用,能源价格将变得更加昂贵。”

“你可能觉得现在的情况已经很糟糕了,但情况还会大幅恶化,”他补充道。

报告估算,能源企业每年可能额外面临1940亿美元的成本,报告作者认为,这些成本最终将通过提高价格转嫁给消费者,而非完全由企业或其股东承担。

根据该分析,这些成本可能会使每加仑汽油的价格上涨约41美分,并使居民电价上涨约8.6%。

“每次企业被起诉时,诚然他们会支付部分赔偿金,但最终他们只会通过提高产品价格来弥补这些损失,”特纳告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

这份报告审查了300余起未决诉讼、三部州级“气候超级基金”法案、12项州级立法提案以及一项联邦法案。其估算基于所有相关措施均获通过的“完全胜诉情景”,并非预测这些措施一定会通过。

该分析仅统计每一起诉讼一次,排除了重复提交的案件。事实上,安东尼表示,该估算可能较为保守,因为部分诉讼并未明确其寻求的损害赔偿金额,使得法院可能判处的赔偿金额没有上限。

这些法律行动包括纽约州《气候变化超级基金法案》,该法案于今年8月被一名联邦法官叫停,以及最高法院正在审理的“森科尔能源诉博尔德县委员会”案。

该案可能会裁决州和地方政府能否在州法院对化石燃料企业提起气候诉讼。

特纳认为,这些诉讼还可能将责任从州和地方领导人身上转移开。

“人们对这些超级基金诉讼的担忧在于,它们会让当选官员逃避治理中棘手且乏味的工作,也就是基础设施建设和减缓战略的制定,”他说。

尽管气候诉讼与州级“超级基金”法案数量有所增加,但安东尼表示,这一问题在很大程度上未被公众关注。

“在这些措施真正生效、美国家庭不得不为此买单之前,我们现在就敲响警钟真的非常重要,”他说。

FIRST ON FOX: American households could end up paying $1,465 more per year on average in energy costs if “anti-energy” climate lawsuits against oil and gas companies are successful, according to a new report first obtained by Fox News Digital.

Americans will “pay a lot more” if the far-left “get their way,” warned Heritage Foundation chief economist E.J Antoni, who co-authored the report with Power The Future founder Daniel Turner.

Hundreds of lawsuits and other state-level “climate superfund” laws could increase the cost of gasoline, electricity and other everyday necessities Americans rely on, the report estimates.

The new analysis, obtained by Fox News Digital, comes as the Supreme Court prepares to hear a closely-watched lawsuit next month out of Boulder, Colorado, which could drastically shape the future of climate litigation.

“If those folks on the radical left wing who are anti-energy, if they get their way, your costs are going to go up,” Antoni told Fox News Digital. “Your household is going to pay a lot more. The energy is going to get much more expensive.”

“You may think it’s bad now, but it will get significantly worse,” he added.

The report estimates energy companies could face an additional $194 billion in annual costs, which the authors argue would ultimately be passed on to consumers through higher prices rather than absorbed entirely by companies or their shareholders.

Those costs could add roughly 41 cents to a gallon of gasoline and increase residential electricity rates by about 8.6%, according to the analysis.

“Every single time a company is sued, yes, they pay some damages, but ultimately they will just charge people more for their product to recoup those losses,” Turner told Fox News Digital.

The report examined more than 300 pending lawsuits, three state “climate superfund” laws, 12 state legislative proposals and one federal bill. Its estimate reflects a “full-success scenario” in which all of those measures prevail; it does not predict that they will.

The analysis counted each lawsuit only once and excluded duplicate filings. In fact, Antoni said the estimate may be conservative because some lawsuits do not specify the damages they are seeking, leaving potential court awards open-ended.

The legal efforts include New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act, which was blocked by a federal judge in August, and the Supreme Court’s pending Suncor Energy v. County Commissioners of Boulder County case.

That case could determine whether state and local governments can pursue climate lawsuits against fossil fuel companies in state court.

Turner argued the lawsuits could also shift responsibility away from state and local leaders.

“The concern about these superfund lawsuits is that they absolve elected leaders from doing the bad, boring part of governing, which is infrastructure and mitigation strategies,” he said.

Despite the rise in climate lawsuits and state “superfund” laws, Antoni said the issue has largely flown under the radar.

“It really is important that we start ringing the alarm bells now before these things actually come to pass and American families have to foot the bill for it,” he said.
