Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm suggested that solar panels and wind farms could be the key to ensuring world peace in the future.
Solar, wind and other renewable sources would be key for the U.S. and its European allies to have energy security, Granholm said during her remarks at the U.S.-EU Energy Ministerial hosted by the State Department on Monday. The energy secretary added that fossil fuel dependence puts the West at greater risk of volatile energy prices.
“High energy prices have been putting strains on households on both sides of the Atlantic,” Granholm remarked. “In Europe, you have seen prices go through the roof. Of course, tensions between Russia and Ukraine pose threats to the energy security of the European Union, our friends and partners.”
“All of this underscores the benefits of clean energy,” she continued. “I was at a ministerial last week and my counterpart in Ireland, Minister Ryan, said words that I thought were very interesting. No country has been held hostage to access to the sun. No country has been hostage to the wind. This is not just an energy and climate issue, it is also potentially the greatest peace plan that ever existed.”
Granholm, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and their EU counterparts discussed a range of issues at the ministerial including global net zero ambitions and clean energy investment, according to a joint statement issued by the U.S. and EU on Monday. But the meeting also focused on the European energy crisis in part caused by Russia’s decision to cut off natural gas supplies as the weather got cold over the last several months.

garbage in, garbage out
Well, that’s unreasonably hopeful.
being energy independent can go a long way to world peace too... not to mention comfort in the winter months.
Typical Biden pick for Energy Secretary. She doesn’t seem to know how to make things better; only worse.
It’s a horse race with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm now competing against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and KamaLamaDingDong for making the most idiotic public statements.
Biden never managed anything in his life. This is his first experience in really delegating authority, and it shows!
So would reasonably priced sex robots.
Complete idiot, just as she was as MI governor.
If only there was a way to harness the abject stupidity of the collective representative infestation that is the POS Demonic Party, and convert it into electic power - We would have enough energy to last for a thousand lifetimes..
Where the men in white coats when we need them?—Bidet’s cabinet would be perfect residents for a new insane asylum.
This is what happens when our leaders have no experience in the real world, or any direct knowledge of how things actually work.
Biden’s administration is a clown show from Hell.
“Never go Full Retard”
...and money may fall out of the sky. However, we do not advise you to run up your credit card based on this possibility.
These morons actually think that because they get a job in the administration, that they are smart….unfortunately we are led by idiots and we accept it…
