US Energy Secretary Chris Wright urged the International Energy Agency on Wednesday to abandon its work on climate change and focus instead on its founding mission.
Wright threatened last year to pull the United States out of the IEA — which was founded to coordinate responses to major disruptions of supplies after the 1973 oil crisis — unless it reformed the way it operates.
Their purpose is literally securing a stable global energy supply and they’ve been pro-oil for decades, since conception, until scientific AND economic evidence made it clear that a stable future energy supply will primarily come from renewables.
The IEA isn’t some agency to be bossed around by some idiot populists in the USA, they provide recommendations for leaders and governments internationally. Leave the USA in the dust where it belongs.
