Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm once met with the leader of an environmental group that’s been a proponent of banning new natural gas stoves over health and climate concerns.
Ms. Granholm met in June 2021 with Jules Kortenhorst, the then-CEO of the Colorado-based Rocky Mountain Institute, according to a calendar obtained by the right-leaning government watchdog Americans for Public Trust through a public records request.
“Get the facts straight,” the DOE official told Fox News. “The June 2021 meeting with CEOs of American chemical, energy, transportation and electrical companies wasn’t about appliances, it was to build support for the NOW enacted $1T Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which is creating thousands of JOBS across red and blue states alike.”
“Despite calling stories about the Biden administration banning gas stoves ‘ridiculous’ and ‘not true,’ Secretary Granholm’s calendar tells a different story,” said Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust. “We’ve now learned that she consulted with the dark money group pushing to ban gas stoves. Suffice to say, ‘ridiculous’ and ‘not true’ proposals don’t ordinarily involve a meeting with the Secretary of Energy — and where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Ms. Granholm promoted the study and said it was further evidence why Mr. Biden’s tax-and-climate-spending law, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act, was needed to provide incentives for switching to electric appliances.
