Failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate StaceyAbrams has landed an attorney gig at a left-wing dark money group behind efforts to crack down on gas stoves. 'I’m excited to join rewiringamerica to share the benefits of electrification,' Abrams said.
Rewiring America, an environmental advocacy group, has been at the center of a push to restrict and ban gas stoves while"electrifying everything in our communities." The organization announced on Tuesday that Abrams will join as senior counsel and help to"launch and scale a national awareness campaign and a network of large and small communities working to help Americans go electric," according to a press release.
Since December 2022, Rewiring America has come under scrutiny from Republicans over its research associate Talor Gruenwald co-authoring a study associating gas stoves with childhood asthma. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm promoted the study on Twitter and, in June 2021, met privately with the Rocky Mountain Institute, a group that funded the December study, Fox News reported.
"How appropriate that Rewiring America, famous for pushing shaky 'science' and enriching its leaders, would hire Stacey Abrams," Scott Walter, president of Capital Research Center, a conservative investigative think tank, told the Washington Examiner."She’s a fiction writer and election denier whose previous nonprofit work left a trail of scandals involving inflated claims of accomplishment and possible self-dealing.
Rewiring America, along with similar environmental advocacy groups, has said electrification of homes is warranted to combat global warming. Right-leaning energy groups have pushed back on these claims, labeling such thinking alarmist and not viable given the country's reliance on fossil fuels on a day-to-day basis.
