The Billionaires Behind The Gas Bans​

The hypocrisy of the billionaires who are funding anti-hydrocarbon campaigns, including bans on gas stoves. Natural gas bans are more about class than climate change.​

The Climate Imperative Foundation is the newest and richest anti-hydrocarbon, anti-natural gas group you’ve never heard of.

How rich is Climate Imperative? According to the latest report from Guidestar, the group took in $221 million in its first full year of operation. (Guidestar calls the income “gross receipts.”) That means that Climate Imperative, which is less than three years old, is already taking in more cash than the Sierra Club, which bills itself as the “nation’s largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization.” According to Guidestar, the Sierra Club collected $180 million in its latest reporting year. Climate Imperative is also taking in more money than the Rocky Mountain Institute which collected about $130 million in its latest reporting year. I use those groups for comparison because they are pushing anti-gas initiatives across the country. More on them in a moment.

The emergence of Climate Imperative -- which has received virtually no attention from legacy media outlets -- is important for several reasons.


t, it shows that the effort to “electrify everything” and ban the use of natural gas in homes and businesses – and that includes gas stoves -- is part of a years-long, lavishly funded campaign that is being bankrolled by some of the world’s richest people.

The science behind this totally aside: America is an interesting experiment. Literally we are a country in which we go to metaphorical war over ideals one minute, but have a beer the next. It's paradoxical, but that is the mindset of realism you have to have. Having downtime with the opposing team needs to be part of the process if we're to avoid literal war, but don't neglect the fact that we are still in one. Harbor peace, but be mentally strapped for war.

We all have to be willing to step into the arena in one form or another if we are going to make a difference and fight for what we want, especially considering we're behind the eight ball resources wise compared to the elites; otherwise they will continue to wield unlimited influence like this and "back" and make win whatever cause they choose. Our battle is tougher with less resources, but not impossible.

Don’t believe for a second Consumer Product Safety Commission member Richard Trumka Jr.’s slippery claim that they aren’t coming for your stove. Or the media narrative that Republicans are “hyping” a new “culture war” by “pretending” the Biden administration intends to ban gas stoves.
Some of this is being exposed in letters sent this week by Senate Commerce Committee ranking member Ted Cruz to CPSC commissioners demanding more information. The letters highlight the primary groups behind this push. One is the Climate Imperative Foundation

Sometimes I think shooting is too good an end for these people. Perhaps drawn and quartered, with the pieces shipped to their accomplices, would be a better way to get the message across.
