Granholm

Jennifer Granholm, a lawyer turned politician is Biden's Secretary of Energy. She has no experience in the energy industry but qualifies on policy. In April 2021, she said President Joe Biden "has a goal of getting to net zero carbon dioxide for this country by 2050. And that means that we have got to figure out ways to clean up our fossil fuel industry." Here is a recent statement from her regarding China's energy policies. U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm claimed Friday that Americans can "learn from what China is doing" in combating climate change. Since 2010 the US has closed down 300 coal plants leaving only 224 operating today and those are being phased out over the next few years. CO2 emissions in the US are now at 1980 levels even through the population has increased from 220 million to 320 million. China has 3,037 coal plants operating today and they have permits to build 100 more in the coming year. While many are concerned about Biden's ability to serve many more are wondering about his cabinet. This ladies thoughts echo the thinking of Homeland Secretary Mayorkas who says the border is secure.
