an onslaught of investigations into Biden climate policies that could have an unintended consequence: asking questions progressives want answered.The probes could set the table for conversations between Republicans and Democrats in the new Congress about the thorny aspects of transitioning away from fossil fuels, including human rights.Some Republicans say they hope the oversight plans create an opening for bipartisan conversations about cleaning up the dirtier aspects of “clean” energy.
“Do I think that coming out of the gates, you’re going to have conservatives holding hands and saying, 'Yeah, let’s do this’? No,” said Rep. Garret Graves . “[But] I think you will see folks that come to the table willing to talk about these issues.”Republicans have sent scores of letters to Biden administration officials signaling that next year will see probes into how President Biden handles the many risks and trade-offs with his approach on climate.
They plan on discussing drawbacks in the energy transition that environmentalists, labor groups and human rights activists also want more attention on.
