Granholm is Likely Pick for Energy Secretary
News broke on Tuesday that former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm is President-elect Joe Biden’s expected pick for energy secretary. She has close ties to Biden from their time working on the Big Three bailout together. She’s also an outspoken advocate about the need to support vehicle makers’ transition into a green future—a goal that Biden shares. This episode, we’ll talk about Granholm’s future as the likely head of the Department of Energy, and her time as governor where she led the state through the worst days of the Great Recession—sometimes to mixed reviews.
