The U.S. Justice Department has initiated legal action against two California cities, Morgan Hill and Petaluma, challenging local regulations that prohibit the use of natural gas in new buildings. This lawsuit follows a pattern of complaints from the Trump administration targeting cities that seek to restrict fossil fuel usage. The administration argues that these bans conflict with federal energy policies, even though the cities no longer enforce the disputed regulations. In a related note, Saks Global is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy as concerns over the economy continue to grow.
