Sec. Granholm Defends Biden Killing Pipeline, Coal Jobs: They Can Mine the Critical Materials that Go into Batteries

‘There are so many jobs in this clean energy space’

EXCERPT:

GRANHOLM: “You know, we want to be able to make sure that we mine the critical materials that go into batteries, and so we should have miners have that opportunity or to make sure that they — the pipe fitters and the plumbers and the electricians who are going to be installing clean energy, or — I mean, many countries are powered by the heat that’s that underneath your feet in the Earth called geothermal. In the U.S., we don’t do much of that. It’s clean and renewable electricity. We should be able to put people to work doing things that are similar to the skills that they had before, and deploying this clean energy, and there are millions more jobs that will be created in this clean energy space than there have been in the fossil fuel sector.”
