Stacey Abrams Joins Green Energy Nonprofit Pushing to Ban Gas Stoves

Georgia’s Republican governor lost the Georgia governorship for the second time. Brian Kemp, Democrat Stacey Abrams has found a new job working for a green energy group that aims to eliminate gas stoves.

Rewiring America, a self-professed “electrification nonprofit” Washington-based company is leading the charge for American businesses and homes to be powered entirely by electric energy.

The group announced on March 14 that Abrams would join the organization as senior counselor. She will be responsible for launching a national awareness campaign to promote the transition to electric power.

“Growing up on the Gulf Coast, not far from a significant concentration of the petrochemical industry, I’ve seen the environmental and health injustices that visit communities isolated from political power and economic opportunity,” Abrams made the statement in a statement. “We 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.

“Rewiring America is a great opportunity to help families and share in the benefits of electrification. As we create the tools that turn everyday Americans into energy entrepreneurs in their communities, I look forward working with you.”

In recent months, natural gas-powered stoves have been a target of the political left after a study linking their use to an increase in risk for childhood asthma was published in December. The lead author of that study 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 was also present for the White House’s Electrification Summit on Dec. 14, and was tasked by the president with launching an education campaign to promote “Opportunities for electrification” to consumers.

The organization is sponsored by the Windward Fund, a charity that “Incubators and hosts” environmental initiatives with the backing of Arabella Advisors, a massive left-wing dark money network based in Washington.

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

However, those allegations have been refuted by the group.

“There is no conflict between founding a nonprofit—one that promotes cutting energy costs for families, improving indoor air quality, and lowering emissions—and working with for-profit businesses that do the same,” a Rewiring America spokesperson told Fox News. “It’s known as mission alignment.”

And Abrams, the organization said, will be an asset to that mission.

“Rewiring America is a way to see how our decisions around the table about the machines that we use can make our lives easier, save money, improve our communities, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” Rewiring America co-founder and CEO Ari Matusiak said in the announcement. “Stacey Abrams’ public service career has touched on all these themes and more. She’s a brilliant and visionary organizer who will accelerate our work and expand the audience for the benefits of electrification—the most equity-centered climate strategy we have.”
