Environmental NGOs and Elite Universities = CCP Shadow Lobbying Scheme

December 11, 2024

An alarming Washington Free Beacon report has revealed that a climate nonprofit with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has funneled millions of dollars to U.S. universities and left-wing groups. This organization, Energy Foundation China, is promoting green energy policies that directly benefit China while undermining American energy independence. According to the report:

“’The Energy Foundation’s direct ties to the CCP are incredibly alarming, as they’ve spent millions to push for radical climate initiatives that favor China and harm American energy production,’ said Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of ethics watchdog Americans for Public Trust.”

This revelation underscores the insidious influence of foreign entities on American energy policy. Energy Foundation China’s funding of U.S. universities and climate nonprofits is a clear attempt to weaken our fossil fuel sector and promote costly green energy alternatives that benefit Chinese industries. 

The incoming Trump administration must take a hard look at these foreign influences and ensure that American energy policy is not compromised by external actors. The Energy Foundation China’s activities highlight the need for vigilance and transparency in how our energy policies are shaped. It’s crucial to prioritize American interests and safeguard our energy independence from foreign manipulation.

The funding of U.S. green energy initiatives by Chinese-linked groups is a serious concern that demands immediate attention. These could be designed to weaken the United States at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. The Trump administration must investigate these influences and ensure that our energy policies are free from foreign interference. It’s time to protect American energy independence and expose the true motives behind these green energy pushes.
