InfluenceWatch Podcast #370: China and the Left’s Energy Lawfare


Over the past several years, the public has become familiar with the concept of “lawfare,” the process of using the legal system to gain political ends regardless of the validity of the underlying case. Environmentalist groups have long been practitioners of aggressive lawfare, but who exactly is funding litigation challenging the ability of energy companies to make energy? The U.S. Senate suspects that the People’s Republic of China may be among them, and so CRC president Scott Walter was invited to testify on the funding of lawfare at a Judiciary Subcommittee hearing titled “Enter the Dragon—China and the Left’s Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance.” Scott joins us to discuss his testimony.
Listen to “Ep. 370: China and the Left’s Energy Lawfare” on Spreaker.
