KENTUCKY — During this one-on-one interview segment with Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R), the state’s chief law enforcement officer for the Commonwealth explained that his office is addressing rising energy prices in Kentucky and across the nation.
The Attorney General recently joined an amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit arguing that environmental groups are wrongly using federal law to stall the lease of 80.8 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico for drilling of oil and gas.
“Gas prices have more than doubled since President Biden took office, and his administration tried to suspend the very oil and gas lease sale at issue in this important case,” said Attorney General Cameron. “We’re taking action at every turn to lower the cost of energy for Kentuckians, including filing this brief to stop environmental groups from weaponizing federal law as a means to halt domestic energy production.”
The brief, co-signed by 14 states, argues that environmental groups are trying to weaponize a federal law, the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), to stall legal oil and gas development.

General Cameron also comments on his recent letting urging Congress to protect children from copycat THC edible products. The products are designed to look like popular snack items and have led to accidental THC consumption in children.
These copycat products are easily mistaken by children for name brand snacks such as Oreo cookies, Doritos chips, Cheetos, NERDs, and other products. As a result, children are accidentally ingesting THC.
“Parents should not have to worry about their child reaching for what they think is a well-known snack, and instead consuming THC,” said Attorney General Cameron. “These products pose a grave threat to children, and we are urging Congress to enact policy that will hold accountable the companies that market these copycat products.”
