ELI advances litigation designed to cripple American energy, drive up costs for working families, and make the United States more dependent on Chinese-controlled "green energy" supply chains. At the same time, ELI has worked with CCP officials to share information about America's regulatory system while promoting emissions policies that tie America's hands as China continues expanding its own emissions and industrial power.
The result is a one-sided strategy that weakens America while strengthening Communist China. Every lawsuit against American energy, every policy that raises costs for U.S. families, and every advantage handed to Beijing comes at the expense of American workers, manufacturers, and national security.
Congress and the Trump Administration should immediately investigate ELI, its foreign partnerships, and any connections to Chinese influence operations to determine whether an organization operating under the banner of environmental advocacy has helped advance Beijing's strategic interests.
