US to West's Energy Watchdog: Scrap Net Zero Focus or We'll Quit

The United States has called on the International Energy Agency (IEA) to abandon its net-zero agenda, warning that if the agency fails to do so, the US will withdraw from it. This move comes as the US Energy Secretary, Jennifer M. Granholm, has been a vocal critic of the IEA's net-zero goals.

According to a report by Investing.com, Granholm has been pressuring the IEA to reconsider its stance on net zero, citing concerns over the economic implications of such a goal. The US has been a key player in the IEA, and its withdrawal would be a significant blow to the agency's efforts to promote sustainable energy practices.

The IEA has been under pressure from various countries, including the US, to reconsider its net-zero goals. The agency has been facing criticism for its perceived lack of flexibility in its approach to achieving net zero, with some arguing that it is too focused on short-term gains rather than long-term sustainability.

The US's decision to pressure the IEA to abandon its net-zero agenda is seen as a significant development in the global energy landscape. It remains to be seen how the IEA will respond to the US's demands, but one thing is certain: the future of the agency's net-zero goals hangs in the balance.
