New Jersey’s incoming governor has chosen Jennifer Granholm to lead her energy transition team. It would be difficult to find a worse choice.
Granholm was Joe Biden’s energy secretary. She did a terrible job and was plagued by scandal.
The New Jersey governor race was largely about energy prices. Does anyone believe Jennifer Granholm is going to bring anything to the table that will lower energy prices? The exact opposite is likely.
Granholm is going to get in there and recommend the same, stupid, failed, green energy policies that she advocated for under Biden.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Mikie Sherrill Taps Jennifer Granholm, Architect of Unpopular Biden-Era Green Policies, To Lead Energy Transition Team
New Jersey governor-elect Mikie Sherrill (D.) turned to former energy secretary Jennifer Granholm, an architect of Biden-era green energy policies—which polls show are unpopular with Garden State voters—to co-chair her transition team’s energy task force.
The governor-elect’s energy team is a quasi-reunion of Biden administration alumni—in addition to Granholm, former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) member Allison Clements will serve as its other co-chair.
It’s a signal that although Sherrill ran to the middle on energy issues during her gubernatorial campaign, she is prepared to govern as a climate hawk. Granholm and Clements have a long history of supporting far-left policies, such as EV mandates, gas stove bans, and expensive offshore wind projects—policies New Jerseyans broadly do not support.
Granholm was one of the Biden administration’s leading cheerleaders of EVs. As energy secretary, she urged Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to EVs, downplayed concerns about EV ownership like cost and range anxiety, and boasted of the administration’s billion-dollar handouts directed to the EV industry.
Here are a few reminders of how things went on Granholm’s watch:

Jennifer Granholm was in charge of the department of energy under Joe Biden.
She shoveled out 93 million in her last 76 days in office in the form of loans to Green businesses that weren’t vetted and didn’t file a business plan.Where did all this money go?

The people of New Jersey wanted cheaper energy. That’s not going to happen now. The odds for new instances of corruption just went up, too.
