Louisiana utility companies still want to charge customers for the costs of a new energy efficiency program and for the electricity no longer needed due to that program.
McDonald’s Monsanto can sue farmers if their produce was pollinated by their copyrighted genetic strain of potatoe plant corn, “Jay Walker” was made up by motor companies, and Shell has spent billions on preventing alternative transportation and hiding the evidence of climate change.
I’d say their success rate is pretty high. They might not be killing people in the streets, but they are killing people.
Q: What happened to the GM EV-1? Or the Nissan Altra? Or the Ford Ranger EV? Or the Chrysler TEVan?
Q: What about McDonald’s entire health food menu, which is basically corn syrup inside corn syrup inside some lettuce?
A: The industry didn’t need to sue them into the ground. Government subsidies are set up in such a way that the products were either designed to fail (see: EV’s), or a marketing exercise for liberals to feel good about their garbage choices (see: both).
When was the last time a large company was “sued to the ground” for wronging its customers or society? Heavily fined? Sure. Purdue went bankrupt, yet none of the family members are charged. They’ll just pop up another company or pass on the wealth to the next generation, and it’ll be another multi decade before that iteration is ‘sued to the ground.’ Like medicine, you should treat the symptoms, but you also need to prevent the symptoms from happening or else it’ll keep returning.
Not to mention, the companies are lobbying for it to be a LAW. If it gets passed and not vetoed, it means no one will be taking your lawsuit seriously.
I can’t wait to see the utility company being sued into the ground for attempting to extract money from its customers who didn’t use their service.
What’s next, MacDonald’s going after health food stores?
Shell going after electric vehicle owners?
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but those companies very much do go after people who use alternative products.
And what is their success rate?

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Monsanto.
Yeah, that’s an oops from me. I’ll edit my comment. Thanks!

How about internet services suing companies that doesnt advertise?

Yes, some more monopolised segments of businesses are dreaming about this for years. And doing, like the fucking Monsanto or copyright mafias.
