EXCLUSIVE: Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm met privately with the leader of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), the group that funded a recent study used to justify calls for a gas stove ban.
Granholm met with Jules Kortenhorst — the CEO of RMI at the time — in June 2021, according to her internal agency calendar obtained by government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT). Kortenhorst is a widely known global climate activist who also founded the Energy Transitions Commission and chairs the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on Net Zero Transition.
"Get the facts straight. The June 2021 meeting with CEOs of American chemical, energy, transportation and electrical companies wasn’t about appliances, it was to build support for the NOW enacted $1T Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which is creating thousands of JOBS across red and blue states alike," a Department of Energy (DOE) spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Granholm's calendar listed Kortenhorst as the only participant in the meeting and didn't include the agenda for the meeting, which was conducted via Zoom and lasted for approximately an hour. RMI didn't respond to a request for comment.about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Americans in the nation's capital assessed President Biden's State of the Union speech on Tuesday. Most who spoke with Fox News approved of his address.
"Biden was awesome," Craig told Fox News. "Couldn't be better."
But Antione disagreed, saying he hasn't witnessed any accomplishments from the Biden administration.
"I haven't seen anything yet," he told Fox News. "We need better schools, we need better playgrounds, we need better people out here for our black community, for all of us."
Biden delivered his second State of the Union speech on Tuesday, focusing on his economic achievements and future initiatives, such as an assault rifle ban. The president, for example, highlighted his administration's signature infrastructure bill and efforts to promote job growth.

Virginia Democrats blocked a conservative appointee from serving on the state education board to silence opposing viewpoints, parents in the Old Dominion State told Fox News.
"Her ejection is a kick in the gut to all of us parents who are concerned about lack of transparency, lack of choice and hoards of our tax dollars being used to fund district-mandated social activism supplanting academics in the classroom," Fairfax County parent Brooke Corbett told Fox News.
"Voting to remove her because she's not qualified for the board as a public school parent is just as ludicrous as stating parents should not be telling schools what to teach when they object to offensive, unacademic socialist instruction," she continued.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who campaigned on parental rights in schools, appointed Suparna Dutta to the Virginia Board of Education in July. But the Indian immigrant and Fairfax County parent advocate lost her confirmation in the Senate of Virginia Tuesday night on a party-line vote.
"Unfortunately, this is all too common," Fight for Schools Executive Director Ian Prior told Fox News. "Our schools and education system has become so infiltrated by angry, woke, know-it-all activists that it is going to take a generation to undo the damage."
VIRGINIA PARENTS SOUND OFF ON POLITICIZATION OF SCHOOLS: ‘AN ATTACK ON THE FAMILY AND THE CHURCH’
"This says a lot about the far left and their so-called equity, diversity, and inclusion," Prior, himself a Virginia parent, said. "What they really are for is uniformity of viewpoint and if that includes diversity then they get to go virtue signal as if that’s more important to them than finding people that will march in lockstep with their morally bankrupt ideas."
