Granholm: The Way ‘to Make the Entire World Energy Secure Is to Move to Clean Energy’

‘No country has ever been held hostage to access to the sun’

EXCERPT:

GRANHOLM: “Clearly when the E.U. is deciding to cut off Russian supply of oil and gas, that, too, causes a crimp in supply. And it causes prices to go up. So, to your point, yes, ultimately, the solution to make us energy secure, to make the Baltic states energy secure, to make the entire world energy secure is to move to clean energy. No country has ever been held hostage to access to the Sun, or to access to the wind. Ultimately, those are the price volatility, continues to -- at least on clean energy there’s no volatility -- it continues to drop. We’re not under the thumb of petrol dictators and ultimately that is the solution. But in the immediate, we know that people are hurting and we’ve got to increase supply wherever we can, globally, including in the United States to make sure that we try to moderate the barrels that have been pulled up by the war in Ukraine."
