“Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm met "with the radical green energy group behind the gas stove ban," which "has ties to the" Chinese Communist Party.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: Granholm did meet with the Rocky Mountain Institute’s CEO in 2021, but the group's views on gas stoves and China need context, as does the government's ability and inclination to ban them.

“West Virginia University just came out with a study that showed that there will be almost 20,000 jobs created in clean energy in West Virginia if (President Joe Biden’s) agenda is passed.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: That's the highest estimate in a range provided in the WVU study, and over half the projected jobs are indirect — not in clean-energy manufacturing.
