The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) was launched in 2021 and has worked to help electrify grids, building out battery storage systems and creating green energy jobs across impoverished regions in Africa, Latin America, and other nations, according to its website.
GEAPP Chief Executive Woochong Um told Reuters that the group is gearing up to invest around $7.5 billion as part of its five-year plan, though some of the group’s work is reportedly more difficult in the wake of the Trump administration’s leading a shift away from climate funding and foreign aid, according to the publication.
“Climate alarmism is a hoax, and wind and solar energy are pointlessly expensive. But if billionaires like Jeff Bezos want to spend their own money virtue signaling on climate, they may certainly do what they wish,” Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
