Green group behind Biden's gas stove ban gets grants canceled: Some $7 million in Biden-era grants to the Rocky Mountain Institute, a green energy outfit, have been canceled. The reason has everything to do with the group's anti-fossil fuel agenda, which was instrumental in the Biden administration's efforts to ban gas stoves. Noting the Trump administration's "pledge to lower energy costs," a Department of Energy spokesman explained, "These contracts failed to advance any of these goals or priorities, and the department acted in the best interest of the American people by terminating them." Energy Secretary Chris Wright contends, "The biggest barrier in energy development the last few decades is people, for political reasons, calling climate change a crisis." Expect many more cancellations of DOE grants like this to green energy groups as Wright refocuses the department on promoting an agenda that seeks to meet the nation's ever-growing energy needs.
