Joe Biden is at his best building his team that will rule the United States. Several ministerial candidates have already been nominated, and the next name is now revealed. Jennifer Granholm is hand-picked as the new Energy Minister. Thus, the Swedish descendant, if approved, will play a key role in reducing America’s dependence on fossils.
Granholm served two terms as Governor of Michigan and therefore has extensive experience working closely with the automotive industry, which is the dominant industry in Michigan. This is seen as a huge advantage when the incoming president wants to try to accelerate the development of electric cars and the expansion of charging stations.
The nomination is also a clear sign from Biden that he wants to deliver on his promise to dramatically reduce climate emissions. During her years as governor, she became known for working to increase the share of energy from renewable sources, such as the sun and wind.
As Minister of Energy, she will be responsible, among other things, for research on climate-friendly energy sources.
Relatives of Maud Olofsson
Jennifer Granholm’s grandfather’s father was named Anders Grenholm and he was the president of the municipal assembly in Robertsfors, and is also related to the former Minister of Commerce and Industry and husband of the center’s leader, Maud Olofsson, Rolf, who also hails from Robertsfors.
Granholm is now an American citizen, but was born in Vancouver, Canada, where her grandfather emigrated in the 1920s.
On Tuesday, it also emerged that Pete Buttigieg, Biden’s opponent in the primaries, is nominated as Minister of Transportation, writes Politico.
