THEY DID WHAT CHINA WANTED: Biden’s Energy Secretary Met With Far-Left, China-Connected “Green Energy” Group Before Pushing To Ban American Gas Stoves

The Biden Regime last month created a national uproar when they pushed to ban gas stoves across America before later backtracking. They and their media allies then accused their opponents of unwarranted hysteria.

But today we know the Regime put their plan in motion several months prior and there is a China connection involved.

According to Fox News, Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm secretly met with the leader of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), which was responsible for the frivolous study claiming gas stoves were a public health hazard, in June 2021. This meeting came just six months before the Regime’s campaign against the gas stove.

The RMI is a radical-left environmentalist group with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Despite this, they have received millions of dollars to help carry out Biden’s so-called “green energy” transition.

Kortenhorst was the only participant in Granholm’s meeting and no agenda was released. But considering the guest and Granholm’s own nefarious desire to rid America of fossil fuels, one can make a safe assumption regarding the subject matter.

Fox News reported:

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm met privately with the leader of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), the group that funded a recent study used to justify calls for a gas stove ban.

Granholm met with Jules Kortenhorst — the CEO of RMI at the time — in June 2021, according to her internal agency calendar obtained by government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT). Kortenhorst is a widely known global climate activist who also founded the Energy Transitions Commission and chairs the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Net Zero Transition.

Granholm’s calendar listed Kortenhorst as the only participant in the meeting and didn’t include the agenda for the meeting, which was conducted via Zoom and lasted for approximately an hour. RMI didn’t respond to a request for comment.

RMI — which is a Colorado-based nonprofit that works to accelerate the global green energy transition, particularly through economy-wide electrification — recently made headlines after it funded a study that highlighted public health dangers posed by gas stove usage. The study was cited in a Bloomberg article in early January that included comments from a Consumer Product Safety Commission member who told the outlet a gas stove ban was “on the table.”

You wouldn’t think they’d want all that pollution since they’re all about everything green, as long as it’s legal tender.

They want everything to be electric when our power grids are about to melt!!! Electric cars?? Can you see 200 MILLION people coming home at night and plugging in and all that electricity needed all at once will blow up and melt the grids. TOTAL failures around the nation for weeks/months while these thugs try to FIX what THEY destroyed and of course BLAMED on Christians, Conservatives, ex-Military, Real Republicans, Patriots. Yup, it’d be our fault!!

I’m a broken record…. “Where is all the needed electrical service going to come from? Nuclear? No. Coal? No. Wind and solar, yes, they’re deficient so as to keep us poor and dependent on government.

I remember Trump did an executive order banning Chinese ownership of US electrical grid

evidently they were trying to buy it up

I don’t remember Trump banning electric appliances and vehicles. SCOTUS needs to stop Biden. Congress won’t.

Sothern CA had separate companies for gas and electricity, massive competition. Northern
CA has PG&E.
I worked at the gas company after one year of college.

my mother grew up with a wood cook stove.

So we moved out from ticky tacky tract home to a cabin in the woods, and put in a wood burning wood stove.

We had lots of firewood from the trees around our home.

Us 3 boys slept in the living room, and parents in main bedroom and a giant walk in closet was made into a bedroom for our sister.

We boys were in high school.

There was a dam and a lake a mile up the gated road and we spent a lot of tine swimming and fishing, and catching rattle snakes.
