Is China Behind America’s Far-Left Climate Groups?
https://thenationalpulse.com/2024/01/30/is-china-behind-americas-far-left-climate-groups/
Republican leaders from three top House committees are investigating the Energy Foundation, an environmental group with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The inquiry follows a Fox News Digital report detailing $3.8 million in contributions from the Energy Foundation to U.S. climate groups. These include the Rocky Mountain Institute, the International Council on Clean Transportation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
The chairs of the House Energy and Commerce, Science Space and Technology, and Natural Resources committees — Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Frank Lucas (R-OK), and Bruce Westerman (R-Ark) — sent a letter to Energy Foundation CEO and President Ji Chou notifying him of their investigation.
“China has already attempted to influence United States policy and opinion regarding China through covert influence and exploit perceived societal divisions,” McMorris Rodgers, Lucas, and Westerman wrote. “As such, we are alarmed by attempts of China-affiliated organizations attempting to influence United States energy policy.”
I am not surprised by it one bit.
