U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm claimed Friday that Americans can "learn from what China is doing" in combating climate change.
During an interview at the annual SXSW conference in Austin, Texas, Granholm sang the praises of China for its efforts to reduce climate change, claiming the country is actually "very sensitive" about the issue, more so than the United States.
Granholm made these claims despite the fact that China recently hit its coal-production record last year. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, "55% of China’s energy" now comes from fossil fuel "compared to 11% in the U.S."
SXSW Studio host Wajahat Ali conducted the interview with Granholm and mentioned China’s negligence on climate during their discussion.
He prompted Granholm, saying that China and the U.S. are doing "so much damage to the world" by neglecting the climate.
Ali said, "I want to talk about accountability. We don’t know what’s going to happen, but - with China specifically, right? When we’re talking about, if it’s Wuhan, or if it’s not, but accountability when it comes to those countries that are doing so much damage to the world, when it comes to climate change. I hate to say it’s China and it’s also the United States of America."
He asked, "How do we hold China and ourselves accountable for what we are doing around the world?"
Granholm said that the U.S., led by official Climate Envoy John Kerry, has been trying to "get all of these countries to agree to very aggressive targets to be able to make sure that we don’t get climate - global warming happening over, you know, 1.5 degrees."

China ignores the climate fear mongers and goes full speed ahead on developing energy production.
The culture which produces the most energy will be the most powerful in other ways.
Unfortunately, it appears the Biden administration wants us to ensure China produces far more energy than the United States.
I don't mean they are brainwashed just in the sense that their heads are filled with biases and misinformation (though they are). I mean brainwashed so much that they are hypnotized sleepwalkers. They are the walking dead...but without the missing limbs.
We can sure tell who has been paid off
Cool! We are going to be building one new coal-fired power plant every week now. Hallelujah! Biden & Co. came to their senses.
Granholm musta got a new pair of knee pads, and is braking them in!
In the words of her boss. Come on man!! What a bunch of malarky!
“The culture which produces the most energy will be the most powerful in other ways.”
What happens to cultures that empty their strategic petroleum reserves?
At present, China is in the process of massive failure.
The reform to Maoist communism envisioned by Xi is going to cause great and destructive upheaval that will last a generation
Such as here:
"Air pollution in Beijing goes off the index"
And here:
Pollution in China affects more than 50pc of underground water | South China Morning Post
And here:
"Smog pollution chokes Beijing, China air" - The Washington Post
What was that nitwit saying again?
Stupid is as stupid does.
Biden regime and China are best buddies.
Well, the answer is really simple.
The ultimate petroleum reserves are already fracked and can be pumped.
Let’s copy India also! India just announced they will be ramping up their coal mining, which already produces 70% of their energy. Foxconn just announced they are going to build a mega phone factory in India. A company like Foxconn does not build something that will employ 50-100,000 people unless there is a large, consistent supply of inexpensive electricity.
There are plenty of very smart people on the Left who are brainwashed. Many doctors, physicists, and, particularly, professors. It is shocking how many CEO’s are Woke.
well, we know who is getting bribes from china
coming soon to America thanks to “diversity”, illegal immigration, and open borders pushing our population numbers up up up. They outvote us and turn our country into a dump. Isn’t diversity great?
Ooooooo! Build more coal fired power plants??!!
Yup! Power up them coal plants.
ROTFLMAO!!! She’s so dumb, really really dumb. What a ditz.
