Michigan Judge Dismisses State Antitrust Suit Against Oil Majors

A federal judge in Grand Rapids dismissed Michigan's antitrust lawsuit accusing Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP, and API of colluding to suppress electric vehicle and renewable energy competition. The ruling is a setback for state-led climate litigation, though appeals are likely. This continues a pattern of courts rejecting similar suits, but the decision may influence pending cases in other states.
