Jennifer Granholm today was confirmed as the next U.S. Secretary of Energy. In response, the BlueGreen Alliance released the following statement from Executive Director Jason Walsh.

“Secretary Granholm has demonstrated time and again that she shares the belief of the BlueGreen Alliance that Americans don’t have to choose between a good job and a clean environment and will carry it with her into her work as the next Secretary of Energy. We congratulate Secretary Granholm and look forward to working with her to drive energy innovation, clean energy and infrastructure investments, and investments in the retooling and modernization of America’s manufacturing sector—all while providing more pathways into good, family-supporting, union jobs.”
