CCP-tied group is quietly fueling US-based climate initiatives: tax filings (yahoo.com) Maybe because our enemies are paying for the politics of destruction? Add in the billionare boys club of the CCP and you have a better understaning of the mess. And the whores in CONgress do nothing.
Dude you're underselling this. This is proof that most of the green, renewable, climate change bullshit is being propped up with commie money. Here's most of the article since it's Yahoo and we know the link will pull a Fetterman within a year once the clicks drop off. "A climate-focused nonprofit with significant operations in Beijing has wired millions of dollars to fund climate initiatives and environmental groups in the U.S., according to tax filings first obtained by Fox News Digital. While the Energy Foundation's financial filings indicate that the group is technically headquartered in San Francisco, a Fox News Digital review determined that the majority of its operations are conducted in China with a staff that boasts extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Its recently filed tax form show the group, which refers to itself as "Energy Foundation China," contributed $3.8 million to initiatives in the U.S. like phasing out coal and electrifying the transportation sector. "The Energy Foundation's ties to China are both extremely disturbing and reprehensible," Tom Pyle, the president of the Institute for Energy Research, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "These environmental organizations, the recipients of this money, are, in essence, sacrificing our national security and empowering China." "We are the richest energy nation in the world with respect to coal, oil and natural gas," he continued. "And yet the Biden administration and the environmentalists fueled by China are promoting policies that would increase our dependence on China, which controls all the minerals and materials needed for batteries and wind and solar, and curtail our production of oil and gas here at home." "According to its financial filings, the Energy Foundation's grant revenue declined 30% year over year to $56.7 million in 2022, but its grant contributions to outside groups and initiatives worldwide increased to $52.1 million, up 27% compared to last year." "Among its more than a dozen grants in the U.S. last year, the group wired $900,000 to the Rocky Mountain Institute, a Colorado-based think tank that has engaged the White House on climate policy and advocates phasing down fossil fuel reliance and net-zero policies. The group also funded a study in 2022 highlighting the dangers of natural gas-powered stovetops, which ultimately led to calls for bans on the appliance. US MILITARY BASE'S GREEN ENERGY PROJECT WITH CCP TIES DISCONNECTED OVER NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS The Energy Foundation sent another $480,000 to the Washington, D.C.-based International Council on Clean Transportation, which advocates for widespread EV adoption and policies decarbonizing the transportation sector broadly. It also wired grants — one to the University of Maryland and another to the Jackson Hole Center for Global Affairs — worth a total of $450,000 and earmarked for projects to phase out coal power reliance." "It further sent $375,000 to the Natural Resources Defense Council, a group founded as "America's first litigation-focused nonprofit dedicated to making dirty industries clean up their pollution" and which has filed dozens of legal challenges pushing far-left green measures. Through its legal efforts, the NRDC has opposed domestic fossil fuel drilling, coal plants, the Keystone XL oil pipeline and critical mineral mining projects. And the Energy Foundation contributed $350,000 to Harvard University, a grant earmarked for "outreach to build a clean energy future." JOE MANCHIN GOES SCORCHED-EARTH ON BIDEN ADMIN OVER EV ACTIONS BOOSTING CHINA "The Energy Foundation's grant-making is almost exclusively focused on making it hard to produce energy and move it around here at home," Pyle told Fox News Digital. "These organizations have little to do with the environment and everything, almost everything, to do with advancing this redistribution agenda." "If they're successful, they'll make America weaker and China stronger," he said. The group — which, according to its 2022 financial statement, leases two office facilities in China under operating leases that have terms through April 2024 — has significant ties to the CCP." "For example, Energy Foundation CEO and President Ji Zou previously served as the deputy director general of China’s National Center for Climate Change Strategy, an agency within the Chinese government’s National Development and Reform Commission. Liu Xin, who heads the group's environmental management division, previously served in a high-ranking role at the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. And Ping He, the program director of the group's industry program, worked for eight years at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a leading state-run research institution." "The revelation of the Energy Foundation's extensive funding for U.S.-based climate initiatives comes amid an ongoing congressional probe led by House Natural Resources Committee Republicans over the CCP's growing influence on the American environmental activist movement. The panel has probed a series of nonprofits with ties to China. "For years, the CCP has used U.S. nonprofits to influence American public opinion and policy decisions," a Natural Resources Committee aide told Fox News Digital. "The vast and well-funded CCP nonprofit influence machine is particularly focused on promoting Chinese energy interests and weakening America’s competitiveness." "Sadly, radical eco-activists in America do more to advance the interests of the CCP than promoting commonsense energy and environmental policies in the United States," the aide added." Overall, while the U.S. is the largest global producer of oil and gas, which still drives every major industry from transportation and power to manufacturing and construction, Chinese companies have established a major foothold in green energy markets." According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), for example, China produces about 75% of all lithium-ion batteries, a key component of EVs, worldwide. The nation also boasts 70% of production capacity for cathodes and 85% for anodes, two key parts of such batteries. In addition, more than 50% of lithium, cobalt and graphite processing and refining capacity is located in China, the IEA data showed. Those three critical minerals, in addition to copper and nickel, are vital for EV batteries and other green energy technologies. Chinese investment firms have also been aggressive in purchasing stakes in African mines in recent years to ensure a firm control over mineral production. China also continues to dominate the global solar supply chain even as Western nations attempt to increase domestic manufacturing capabilities. According to a July 2022 IEA report, China has a greater than 80% share in all the manufacturing stages of solar panel manufacturing. China further produces a staggering 95% of all global polysilicon, ingot and wafer supplies necessary for solar products. The Energy Foundation didn't respond to a request for comment
It's a cash-cow scam. The globalists know the bottom will fall out of the EV market sooner rather than later, but they intend to capitalize on it as much as possible first. No energy grid can handle the full scale of entire EV in the industrial and private sector. The second level operation concerning clean-up efforts and the "solution" to the electric grid problems and EV disaster will become even more profitable. The final goal, as best I can tell is the complete control over all transportation and wealth. I have no doubt this rule will be absolutely despotic. The average Citizen will not be allowed to move or function (to buy anything or pay bills) without first being compliant with every law and requirement. The CHINA angle is solid proof that much of what we are seeing is a radical leftist takeover in action. The ties to the CCP isn't always necessary, as every facet of Chinese business globally must be vetted by the Party. Naturally, taking the U.S. off its own supply of resources and becoming dependent upon China has always been a precursor to globalist profit making schemes. It's the not-so-subtle tactics which follow suit that I'm most concerned about. Trump knows some of the dangers and would be a problem for these people for sure, and I just don't see how we are going to pull through without somebody like Trump who will smash the hell out of the destructive ideology of the globalists. One thing I feel is certain. If this next election turns out to be the result of Trump "losing", we're in for one bumpy ride. We will most likely see a UN chartered takeover, either through civil war and rioting, or viral pandemic assistance...or a combination of both. That's right, no more U.S. Gov't politics, that stuff is too corrupt and it "doesn't work" anyway.
Besides...."Big Guy" has to keep getting his 10%, and the best way to do that is to push the "Green" agenda!
Oh, I think CCP is involved in much more than just the climate bull$hit. I think many of the problems we are currently facing and that are senseless, like the trans crap, the open borders, the Woke junk is funded and pushed by the CCP and the reason is obvious. Divide the nation and keep dividing until there isn't much cooperation, national spirit or national Will left.
The lefties have a complete convolsive melt down when they see the article. They absolutely can not handle the knowledge that the green movement is being largely propped up with money from the group that sells us most of our solar panels and lithium batteries.
Hey links dead just like I said when the clicks dropped off. CCP-tied group is quietly fueling US-based climate initiatives: tax filings | Fox News
