When Donald Trump becomes president, he should install gas stoves in every kitchen. Aside from the socialistic value, a climate advisor for Kamala Harris’ selection despises gas stoves. Camila Thorndike was chosen as the vice president’s advisor on weather and climate change. Many conservatives are concerned about her past involvement with a group that attempted to ban gas stoves.
Thorndike’s Appointment raises eyebrows.
Camila Thorndike has been named the “climate engagement director” for Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign in 2024. Thorndike has extensive experience in the climate movement and advocacy, having previously worked with Rewiring America, a group that promotes the electrification of the US economy while discouraging the use of fossil fuels.
The group’s involvement in efforts to ban gas stoves based on alleged health risks raises concerns among traditional energy advocates. This development suggests potential energy regulatory changes that could upend long-standing consumer practices and economic structures.

Concerns Among Conservative Circles
Camila Thorndike’s history as a climate activist includes affiliations with high-profile environmental campaigns and politicians such as Bernie Sanders. Conservative policymakers concerned about energy independence and economic stability are opposed to Harris’ potential alignment with anti-fossil fuel agendas.
Rewiring America’s influence on Biden-Harris administration policies, particularly the Inflation Reduction Act, suggests a shift toward green energy priorities. Critics argue that these changes pose a significant risk to industry transformations and job losses in the fossil fuel sector.

Impact and Future Speculation
Rewiring America’s role as a member of the Windward Fund, which is part of a larger dark money network managed by Arabella Advisors, adds to speculation about the motivations and transparency of these energy policy changes. Thorndike’s vision for a next-generation energy grid may present additional challenges to traditional energy methodologies.
“The future is shaped by the efforts to mobilize and empower voters to deliver electoral victories, so the power really lies with the people, and if you can out-organize the oligarchy, you can save the world” – Camila Thorndike
Vice President Kamala Harris risks alienating not only traditional energy supporters, but also pro-fossil fuel organizations, potentially leading to increased scrutiny and opposition.
Thorndike’s enthusiastic support of Harris as a “future climate champion” demonstrates the administration’s commitment to broad climate policies.
