In a speech to a Seattle crowd Wednesday, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm made the claim that lower oil imports improves U.S. energy security.
Praising Biden’s historic green energy funding and 100% clean electricity goal by 2035, Granholm said “With all this electrification, we could slash our net crude oil imports by almost 60%, and that strengthens energy security.”
Granholm, who appeared with Vice President Kamala Harris also said Harris "has been amazing inside the White House as the champion for clean energy."
One of the most common critiques of Biden’s green agenda is that it has thus far achieved the opposite of energy security. Regulators claimed in May that more than 66% of the country is vulnerable to summer blackouts because of “new environmental rules” cracking down on fossil fuels.
The regulators explained that the government is causing a spike in energy demand at a pace faster than renewables can match.
Widespread concerns about national security have also come into question under Biden’s transition, since much of the materials for renewables like wind and solar are sourced from China.
Center for Industrial Progress President and founder Alex Epstein wrote that "Joe Biden's escalating bans on domestic fossil fuel production, combined with mandates of unreliable solar and wind overwhelmingly produced by unreliable China, are an existential threat to our energy security and therefore our national security."
This isn’t the first time Granholm has made this claim. In April, she also stated of her trip to Japan that Biden’s green agenda will "address how the acceleration of the clean energy transition will help strengthen global energy security."
Her Tuesday remarks came just hours after Biden received a coalition letter urging Granholm to resign for what the groups claimed to be numerous ethics violations while in her position.
Xi’s investment in Brandon is paying off for Cheyna.
she also said green energy is great cuz
the sun and the wind are free
Talk about IRONY. President Trump cut oil imports to ZERO. But he did it the sensible way — by boosting our domestic energy production instead of chasing unworkable, expensive, unreliable and unrealistic unicorn energy.
This Granholm woman sets new heights for stupidity. She doesn’t know a BTU from a Watt from a Calorie. It is appalling the number of extremely stupid, grossly incompetent people that rise to such heights in our government and have such power over our lives.
She has no educational or professional experience to make such proclamations. But like all liberals, they think they can just command things to happen and the world will be a better place for their commands.
Stupid bitch, with drilling, fracking and cracking we can eliminate nearly all our petroleum imports, become energy dominant and become a net exporter of petroleum products thus increasing our GDP, enabling more manufacturing on U.S. soil, increasing wages and standards of living for many Americans. By the way, we will need to import some petroleum products because there are some that have characteristics that we either do not have within our borders or it is too expensive to extract and refine. Fortunately we can get those products from either Mexico or Canada.
Granholm is typical of the phags, phreaks, and phanatics that currently infest WDC. Every one was selected for office as a middle finger to us normals. If there are any with a triple digit IQ, I would be amazed.
The measure of a President can be obtained by the quality of the people he/she appoints to important positions in the administration. Granholm is one of Joe Bidens worst appointments. She doesn’t know her BUTT from a BTU. She is as qualified to be Secretary of Energy as Hunter Biden was to serve on the Burisma board of directors. Can anyone name me one Joe Biden cabinet appointment that was qualified to hold his/her position?
'Cause we know this much - she didn't get the job based on merit.
Trump accomplished all that in THREE short years. He got the stinking, GD anti-progress government out of the way and let markets flourish.
Granholm and her uneducated ilk are all about commanding and controlling us. They don’t believe in the Wisdom of Markets because they know best.
I HATE know-it-all people like that with zero real-world basis for their proclamations.
These people have anointed themselves dictators and have gotten away with unspeakable actions .. with absolutely zero consequence. It's like the entire media and political complex are in on the takeover/subjugation of America.
They don't care and are going to do whatever they want. And energy and all ancillary costs are going to go through the roof. And nobody, not even the Repugnant pimps in congress will challenge them.
I bet she never had a real job in her life.
Has any democrat politician ever held a real job? They seem to go to the same Ivy schools, study law or political “science” and go straight into politics without ever having to succeed at anything real.
Believe it or not, that cross-dressing homo who stole luggage was actually qualified for his job. Him and that off their cross-dressing freak medical director.
This isn’t the first time Granholm has made this claim. In April, she also stated of her trip to Japan that Biden’s green agenda will “address how the acceleration of the clean energy transition will help strengthen global energy security.”..............It sure will strengthen global energy security..of course that security will be in some other nation’s hands.
‘Talk about IRONY. President Trump cut oil imports to ZERO.’<P.
That never happened, even during the height of covid, we still imported oil. Higher oil prices is actually very good for domestic production. We are producing lots of home products. Joe the oilman Biden is bad for consumers, but great for domestic producers.
