Energy Foundation China contributed $3.8 million to various “green” initiatives, including a $900,000 grant to Rocky Mountain Institute regarding gas stoves. While the foundation claims that study was prepared only for implementation in China, that same research contributed to the controversial push for a ban on gas stoves in the US.
A nonprofit with operations in Beijing reportedly funded a number of nonprofits in the United States fighting climate change and pushing for sustainable or “green” energy.
Tax filings obtained by Fox News showed funding from the Energy Foundation China, which is headquartered in San Francisco and has a majority of its operations in China. The group, which refers to itself in tax filings as “Energy Foundation China” contributed $3.8 million to initiatives to phase out coal use and expand the use of electric vehicles, according to Fox News.
The foundation’s website says that its mission is to achieve for China “prosperity and a safe climate through sustainable energy. Our mission is to achieve greenhouse gas emissions neutrality, world-class air quality, energy access, and green growth through transforming energy and optimizing economic structure.”…
Steve Milloy, a senior legal fellow with the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute and publisher of JunkScience.com, told Just The News that the revelations that China is providing funding for green energy initiatives should come as no surprise…
With regard to the Energy Foundation revelations, “I don’t think this is new. I think they’ve been doing it for a long time, and I think there are a lot of these green groups that are China-ing up in one way or another,” Milloy said…
JunkScience’s Milloy said that China is funding environmental organizations as a means to fight the U.S. without fighting. “If America can destroy itself with green laws and regulations, destroy our grid and make us dependent on China, well, they don’t need to use missiles or anything,” Milloy said.
The more the U.S. becomes dependent on China, Milloy said, the less likely the U.S. would be to respond with force should any disputes arise. “So let’s say that China goes into Taiwan today. What can the US reasonably do? If we take any action at all, either the Chinese will just cut off our antibiotics or cellphones or green energy supplies,” Milloy said.
