Stacey Abrams Joins Green Energy Nonprofit Pushing to Ban Gas Stoves

The Epoch Times Header

Democrat Stacey Abrams, who lost twice in Georgia gubernatorial elections to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, is joining a green energy group that seeks to eliminate gas stoves.

Rewiring America, a self-professed โ€œelectrification nonprofitโ€ based in Washington, is leading the charge to convert U.S. homes, businesses, and communities to run solely on electric energy.

On March 14, the group said Abrams would be joining as senior counsel, a role in which she will help to launch a national awareness campaign promoting the transition to electric energy.

โ€œGrowing up on the Gulf Coast, not far from a significant concentration of the petrochemical industry, Iโ€™ve seen the environmental and health injustices that visit communities isolated from political power and economic opportunity,โ€ Abrams said in a statement.

โ€œWe are at an inflection point, where families in the South and across the country live too close to the economic edge, and every dollar saved now changes their future. But few understand how much money they can save with a little help to upgrade their homes and vehicles.

โ€œIโ€™m excited to join Rewiring America to share the benefits of electrification and ensure families get their fair share. I look forward to working together as we build the tools that will transform everyday Americans from energy consumers to energy moguls in their own communities.โ€

Natural gas-powered stoves have been a target of the political left since the publication of a December study linking their use to an increase in the risk of childhood asthma. The studyโ€™s lead author was Talor Gruenwald, a research associate at Rewiring America.

Weeks after the study was published, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm touted its findings as a reason to increase access to electric and induction stoves.

Rewiring America also was present for the White Houseโ€™s Electrification Summit on Dec. 14 and was tasked by the president with launching an education campaign to promote โ€œelectrification opportunitiesโ€ to consumers.

The organization is sponsored by the Windward Fund, a charity that โ€œincubates and hostsโ€ environmental initiatives with the backing of Arabella Advisors, a massive left-wing dark money network based in Washington.

Rewiring America has come under scrutiny for alleged conflicts of interest over its foundersโ€™ involvement in for-profit green energy ventures that benefited from policies their organization advocated for.
