The United States would consider dropping out of the International Energy Agency (IEA) if it continues to pursue a climate agenda of reaching emissions neutrality by 2050, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright told a panel on the sidelines of the IEA's ministerial meeting on Thursday.
“We're definitely not satisfied (with current IEA's policy scenarios), and we’re not there yet… For the US to remain a long-term member of the IEA, the agency needs to finish the reform... we don’t need a net zero scenario, that’s never gonna happen, net zero by 2050,” Wright said.
