Key Vote NO on Granholm Confirmation

The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to oppose the nomination of former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm for Secretary of Energy.

One of the main roles of the Department of Energy is managing the distribution of billions of dollars in federal funding and loans. The Biden administration has pledged to increase this spending even further. Thus, Granholm’s record of funding and advocating failed green-energy companies and even awarding millions in state contracts to a felon convicted of embezzlement should be disqualifying. Granholm’s tenure as governor is a long record of distributing billions of dollars in state and federal subsidies to “alternative” energy companies in the name of creating jobs or industries that failed to materialize. This record of failure and mismanagement does not merit an upgrade to a role that will oversee much vaster amounts of spending.

The AEA urges all members to support free markets and affordable energy by voting NO on confirmation for the Granholm nomination for Secretary of Energy. AEA will include this vote in its American Energy Scorecard.
