GOP leaders open joint probe into global energy group influencing net-zero policies in US

FIRST ON FOX: Republican leaders in the Senate and House sent a joint letter late Wednesday to the International Energy Agency, warning the global group about its green policies.

Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"We would argue that in recent years the IEA has been undermining energy security by discouraging sufficient investment in energy supplies," Barrasso and McMorris Rodgers wrote in the letter. "Moreover, its energy modeling no longer provides policymakers with balanced assessments of energy and climate proposals. Instead, it has become an ‘energy transition’ cheerleader."

"Until recently, the IEA has served as a valuable source of reliable information on the security of oil markets, and has provided a mechanism whereby oil-consuming countries can respond effectively to oil shortages," they continued. "Consequently, the IEA must conduct its energy security mission in an objective manner. We believe the IEA is failing to fulfill these responsibilities."
