A GOP congressman said Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm met 'with the radical green energy group behind the gas stove ban,' which 'has ties to the' Chinese Communist Party. This is exaggerated.
What does the Rocky Mountain Institute believe about gas stoves?
The Rocky Mountain Institute is an environmental organization that focuses on the production and use of energy. It participates in programs worldwide to work with governments to curb climate change, includingAccording to Americans for Public Trust, Kortenhorst met with Granholm for an hour over Zoom. The calendar didn’t disclose what they discussed, but Americans for Public Trust took aim at the group’s background.
The report urged the Consumer Product Safety Commission to"set science-based indoor air quality guidelines" for nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, and to require manufacturers and installers to"certify that any new gas stove installed will not expose residents to harmful levels" of those chemicals. The group suggested that this could include automatic exhaust venting.
For existing users of gas stoves, the group suggested that solutions could include mandating carbon monoxide detectors and warnings"all the way to requiring replacements." So it’s accurate to say that the group is concerned about policy over gas stoves, and the group floated the possibility of"requiring replacements" for existing users. But it offered a range of possible solutions and stopped short of advocating for a"gas stove ban."Even if someone perceives the institute’s floating of requiring replacements as advocacy for a ban, the Biden administration has made clear that the idea isn’t going anywhere.
