Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee announced two new hearings focused on energy security and emissions reduction efforts as they prepare to fine-tune their messaging and preview their bipartisan trip to the U.N. climate summit in Dubai.

The hearings, shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner, will be held Nov. 29 and Dec. 5 and will highlight U.S. leadership in clean energy and efforts to build on that role and help allies reduce dependence on Russia and China for energy production.

Witnesses for both hearings are expected to be announced in the coming days.

“American energy and environmental leadership matters,” House Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), who is co-leading the bipartisan delegation to the COP28 summit, told the Washington Examiner in a statement. “We need to build on this legacy — not shy away from it, especially on a world stage like COP.”

The bipartisan delegation was announced last week and comes as some Republicans on the Energy and Commerce Committee look to present an alternative to the Biden administration’s ambitious clean energy targets.

Rather, they plan to argue that building a strong energy mix is the best way to create jobs, embracing an “all-of-the-above” approach to reduce emissions, strengthen energy security, and secure U.S. supply chains, "without sacrificing our innovation, economic development, or our national security," according to a spokesperson for the committee.

Their efforts will cut a sharp contrast to the Biden administration’s recent messaging on China, however, including efforts to stabilize rocky diplomatic relations and coordinate on key climate issues.

As part of that effort, President Joe Biden will meet Wednesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the APEC forum in California.

Hours earlier, the U.S. and China announced new cooperation on key climate issues, including supporting a new global renewable energy target; accelerating substitutions for coal, oil, and gas generation; and including methane reduction targets in their 2035 climate goals.
