Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach says it’s time the Justice Department began an investigation of a Chinese energy organization he contends is carrying out “environmental lawfare,” or the filing of environmental lawsuits and court actions.
He wrote US Attorney General Pam Bondi this week asking her to begin a probe of The Energy Foundation’s actions in this country “including its ties to climate lawfare in the courts.” Kobach also said the Foundation, often referred to as Energy Foundation China, is tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
“It is one thing to watch left-wing law firms and non-profits use laws designed to impose extraterritorial burdens to advance their radical policy interests in the courtrooms of America to the detriment of our consumers and our economy,” he wrote, “but when such legal actions are tied to China, it likely reveals a foreign adversarial attack on American energy independence.”
