Avast ye scallywags! The swashbuckling Republican leaders be sendin' a letter to the International Energy Agency, aye, they be warnin' 'em about their green policies. Sailin' the high seas ain't no place for such nonsense, so they be sayin'! Arrr!
In a jolly old move, Republican leaders in the Senate and House have launched a pirate-like investigation into the International Energy Agency (IEA), a powerful group that influences major global decarbonization policies. The scallywags, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee ranking member John Barrasso, and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, be sending a stern warning to the Paris-based group, accusing them of straying from their mission of promoting energy security.The pair of salty dogs argue that the IEA be undermining energy security by not encouraging enough investment in energy supplies and providing biased energy modeling. They be calling out the Biden administration for relying on IEA forecasts to halt new liquefied natural gas export projects, which be raising eyebrows in the U.S. energy industry.The IEA, founded during the global oil crisis in 1974, has been criticized by these buccaneers for focusing too much on decarbonization policies and not delivering the goods for policymakers. The scallywags be demanding answers from IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol about their activities and energy research. These swashbucklers be leaving the IEA walking the plank with their questions unanswered.
