#SCOTUS agreed Friday that #energy companies facing lawsuits over #environmental damage to Louisiana’s #coast from #oil & #gas production can move the challenges from #state courts into friendlier #federal venues.

The ruling is a significant victory for oil companies, led by #Chevron & #ExxonMobil, in their legal battle with #Louisiana state officials over who should pay for the state’s #coastal #erosion. The companies have been supported by the #Trump admin.
