“The next Administration should use Treasury’s tools and authority to promote investment in domestic energy, including oil and gas. It should reverse support for international public- (and private-) based efforts promoting Environmental, Social, and Governance and Principles for Responsible Investment, both of which have badly damaged U.S. energy security.”

Context:
This is a flat-out lie. The U.S. is producing more oil and gas than ever before, and renewables haven’t threatened our energy security.
“Our study shows that an increased reliance on renewable sources and nuclear energy reduced some countries’ dependence on fossil fuels and imported energy, ultimately improving energy security.”
It’s actually overreliance on fossil fuels that threatens energy security. Fossil fuels are a finite resource. What’s the plan for when they no longer exist?
