According to Politico, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright wants the International Energy Agency (IEA) to stop behaving like a “climate advocacy organization” and to focus on “energy security. Wright threatened to pull the country out of the IEA, whose work on deploying renewables stands against the Trump administration’s support for fossil fuels. As Wright put it: “If a large part of data reporting agencies devote themselves to these kinds of leftist fantasies … that can only distort their mission.” First established in 1974, the IEA produces forward-looking scenarios documenting the transition to renewable fuels that set the standard for the energy world.
