Dark money group pushing gas stove crackdown has significant financial stake in green energy

It's a shocking amount of money that they're hauling in with this scheme

...

The founders of Rewiring America, an environmental advocacy dark money group behind the push to regulate and ban natural gas-powered stoves, have a significant financial stake in the green energy push.

Alex Laskey, Saul Griffith and Ari Matusiak – who together founded Rewiring America in 2020 – have all pursued various wind, solar, electrification and .. which have netted them millions of dollars in .. federal funding. The three co-founders have simultaneously advocated for policies benefiting those ventures through the nonprofit.

...

Big Green Inc.

...

Rewiring America has an increasingly more prominent role guiding policies at the state and federal level – it notably had a presence at a Dec. 14 electrification summit and at an event celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act, both at the White House – the group's donors are shielded from public view. The group doesn't file federal tax forms since it is sponsored by the Windward Fund, a nonprofit that is part of the billion-dollar dark money network managed by the Washington, D.C.-based Arabella Advisors.

The only public contribution to Rewiring America is a 2020 grant worth $300,000 from the left-wing nonprofit Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

...

Among its key objectives, Rewiring America has maintained that Americans must broadly electrify their homes in an effort to combat climate change and has advocated for massive-spending climate programs that rival those introduced during the Great Depression and World War II.

...

The group was at the center of a recent move to restrict gas stove usage.

...

"Rewiring America is a new non-profit I founded with Alex Laskey, a clean energy entrepreneur, to help mobilize America to address climate change and jump-start the economy by electrifying everything

Always. Once again, The average American has NO representation in the “halls of Congress” or in the White Basement. The donors (and payees) have the only voice now.

Yes, but the more important point is, in most cases, they're not "greenies" at all. They're high-end grifters, conmen in silk suits, sucking at Uncle Sam's teat.

What, do you think that it's the Greta Thunberg stooges on the Left that are making bank from the "sustainable energy" scam? For far too many so-called "conservatives," when it comes to the "climate" hustle, it's always "libruls" this and "libruls" that.

Wake the f*ck up, what don't you? When it comes to the climate/green agenda, we're talking about a "the call is coming from inside the house" scenario. Why do you think that, for the most part, most GOP types in Congress and elsewhere are never seen pushing back, hard, against that agenda?

Biden Regime - 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.. before the Regime’s campaign against the gas stove.

RMI is a radical-left environmentalist group with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).. they ( Amory Lovins - former chairman ) have received millions of federal taxpayers dollars to help carry out Biden’s green energy transition.

You have to wonder if that group has links to companies that have a vested interest in induction stove technology and pots and pans manufacturers that make induction-compatible cookware.

You're right on this - and the reason some GOP fools don't push back more is because they feel some of these greenie thugs are sincere. They're not. The only 'sincere' people on that side are the useful idiots who have fallen for the bullsh*t line.

Where is all this new expansion of energy production going to come from? Wind/solar “renewable” is a sham and a total head fake. Unreliable and NOT sustainable, there is no way such a system could adequately address the demands for expanded use of electricity, when the grid is already near capacity at peak periods.

Fortunately there is an answer both more than adequate to support the anticipated growth, and to completely void out this fascination with wind/solar “renewables”.

A new generation of very small nuclear reactors, built on a modular design, and which can be assembled from mass-produced components, is now both technically possible and economically feasible.

These new nuclear power generation stations should be put into service on a crash basis RIGHT NOW, like there were a war on. And we may be in that wartime basis for real in a very near future.

(from the article) :" Rewiring America in 2020 – have all pursued various wind, solar, electrification and
.. which have netted them millions of dollars in .. federal funding."

Ask the survivors of the Buffalo Blizzard of 2023 how they feel about being totally dependent on aerial power lines
for heat when the electrical power goes out.
I am sure they will say a mouthful, since elecrical contractors are contractually forbidden to operate "cherry picker" aerial buckets in more than 35 mile per hour winds.
Buffalo is governor Hochul's back yard, and won't forget who has their back during a natural regular winter crisis.
