Puerto Rico's power grid is under significant strain, and the American Energy Institute is urging the governor to act against what it describes as 'left-wing extremists' using legal means to push a disruptive climate agenda. The Institute claims that these groups are causing more harm by targeting energy companies with litigation intended to bankrupt them or force unfavorable outcomes. The Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project has been linked to these efforts, allegedly influencing judges with climate education that critics argue is biased. The letter to the governor suggests withdrawing from ongoing climate lawsuits and appointing judges who uphold the separation of powers. As the island experiences frequent blackouts costing significant revenue, residents face worsening energy poverty and economic hardship from an unreliable power supply.

The American Energy Institute has called on Puerto Rico's governor to combat legal actions by climate activists, who they claim are destabilizing the island's power grid by pushing a climate change agenda through the courts.

CEO Jason Isaac of the Institute accuses these activists of attempting to bankrupt energy companies or impose outcomes detrimental to Puerto Rico and the broader nation, through coordinated litigation efforts.

The Environmental Law Institute (ELI) and its Climate Judiciary Project have been criticized for allegedly influencing over 2,000 judges with climate education, creating a bias in the legal handling of climate change cases.

The Institute's letter proposes that the governor withdraw Puerto Rico's complaint in a lawsuit against Exxon Mobil and discourage state contracts with legal firms advancing political objectives.

Puerto Rico's power grid has been failing, with blackouts affecting over 1.4 million residents, costing the island an estimated $230 million daily in lost revenue, leaving citizens in 'energy poverty'.

Critics argue that these legal actions are steering Puerto Rico towards a 'green' energy future that neglects the immediate needs of its populace for affordable and reliable electricity.

The letter suggests appointing judges who will respect the separation of powers and not allow politically motivated legal actions to disrupt Puerto Rico's energy strategies.
