The CEO and co-founder of a dark money clean energy advocacy group pushing restrictions on gas stove use nationwide is scheduled to speak at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference on Thursday.
Rewiring America CEO and co-founder Ari Marusiak speaks during a virtual discussion with fellow co-founder Saul Griffith and climate activist Bill McKibben on Nov. 17, 2021
"More companies and national partners are expected to join the campaign in the coming months – alerting U.S. households to benefits to help them purchase and install efficient electric heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction stoves, heat pump dryers and other home appliances needed to lower their energy costs and the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving the climate crisis," the group said on Nov. 2.
Matusiak and another Rewiring America co-founder Alex Laskey attended a White House event on Sept. 13 celebrating the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.Laskey also spoke at a Dec. 14 electrification summit hosted by the White House and attended by top administration officials. "Just to talk quickly about the benefits of electrification – from our count, 42% of all emissions come from decisions that are made at kitchen tables. That is the cars we drive as well as how we heat our homes, heat the water in our homes, cook our food and dry our clothing," Laskey remarked during the event.
Rewiring America, though, isn't an independent organization, but is a project of the Windward Fund, a nonprofit that is part of the billion-dollar dark money network managed by the Washington, D.C.-based Arabella Advisors. The group's structure allows its funding to be almost completely hidden from public view, meaning its donors remain unknown.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.
