US Renews Threat to Withdraw From IEA Over Climate Advocacy
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright demands IEA reform to focus on energy security and demand forecasting, threatening withdrawal if climate advocacy persists, citing the agency's mission drift.
- At Paris ministerial talks, US Energy Secretary Wright warned the US would withdraw from the IEA if it remains focused on promoting green energy, as he said ahead of the meetings.
- Amid the IEA's shift toward climate work, Wright said a 'climate cult' has driven up energy prices in Europe and diverted the agency from energy security forecasting.
- Republican lawmakers moved last summer to cut funding to the IEA, which last November dropped its peak oil demand forecast, while Wright reassured Europe it remains a `rock solid, reliable supplier of LNG`.
- Tensions have escalated in recent months, with officials warning that Europe's dependence on US LNG after the Greenland spat raises security concerns and Dan Jorgensen calling it 'a wake-up call.'
- Historically, the IEA was founded in 1974 to coordinate responses to supply disruptions, and Wright has framed the US stance as reforming the IEA or facing withdrawal.
