When the dust of history finally settles on the Trump administration, it will be shown as one of the most litigated administrations in US history. Among the leaders of that litigation will be state attorneys general.

Real energy security comes with reducing reliance on foreign fossil fuels through efficiency, solar, wind, ground source heat pumps, and etc., which are available to all countries.
