Jennifer Granholm in Biden Cabinet members actions and issues


On Technology: Advocates for manufacturing, domestic R&D efforts

Granholm has a history of advocating for domestic manufacturing as a necessary complement to domestic R&D efforts, for instance with companies manufacturing components for electric vehicles. As secretary of energy, she would be able to approach those priorities on a much larger scale through the DOE's far-reaching research and investment portfolio.

On Energy & Oil: Picked for DOE as advocate for clean energy development

If confirmed by the Senate, she will be the second woman to lead the department, which is in charge of the country's nuclear weapons arsenal but also oversees renewable energy technology and fossil fuel production. Biden's move to put Granholm, an advocate for clean energy development, at the helm of the Energy Department emphasizes the role it plays in making environmental policy, in addition to overseeing the country's nuclear arsenal.

On Foreign Policy: Long critical of Trump's Russia connections

President-elect Biden's choice to helm the Department of Energy, former Gov. Jennifer Granholm, has a history of publicly promoting theories about Russian collusion in the 2016 election. Granholm began pushing the notion that President Donald Trump was enamored of Russia in mid-2015. The former governor, in particular, was an early proponent of the idea that Trump's reluctance to release his tax returns during the 2016 contest might have been tied to business dealings in Russia.

On Principles & Values: Antidote to negativity and pain: service to others

There is a sure-fire antidote for the negativity and pain that besets our democracy, an antidote that is the purest act of all: service to others. Even the hardest heart softens when a tutored child overcomes the odds to excel. Even the most virulent antigovernment activist feels compassion in delivering meals to disabled and home-bound seniors. The acts of kindness occurring each day all over America can begin to heal our pain, soothe our rage, and remind us that we are one human family.
