House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans sent a letter to three environmental groups with financial ties to a San Francisco-based environmental NGO called the Sea Change Foundation as a next step in the investigation of foreign influence over U.S.-based environmental NGOs. According to reports, it’s been alleged that Vladimir Putin has used Sea Change to funnel money into U.S. based environmental advocacy efforts designed to shut down and undermine American energy production.
The letters ask the League of Conservation Voters, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Sierra Club:
To identify the total amount of funding they received from Sea Change since 2006.
To identify the specific efforts the funding was designed to support.
To disclose if they are aware of concerns that Sea Change may be a conduit for Russian funding.
If they currently or ever have received funds from the Russian government or anyone connected with the Russian government.
If they have taken any action at the request of the Russian government or anyone connected with the Russian government.
Due to the recent bilateral pact between Russia and China on defeating sanctions, if they have received funds from the Chinese Communist Party or taken any action on their behalf.
All three of these groups were identified as top recipients of Sea Change grants since 2006.
