The Biden administration wants the U.S. to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 to help limit global warming. SecGranholm said the world will need fossil fuels for decades, but they must be paired with technologies that capture greenhouse gas emissions.

The Biden administration wants the U.S. to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 to help limit global warming. It is seeking to displace oil, gas, and coal with renewable energy and electric technologies, but forecasts, including those by the Energy Information Administration, indicate prolonged demand for traditional energy sources.

"We need both traditional and new energy," added Granholm, who, along with President Joe Biden, has asked the oil and gas sector to increase production to alleviate high energy prices at home and in the larger global energy marketplace. The administration has supported increased oil and gas production in response to higher prices and the war in Ukraine.

It also included hundreds of billions of dollars in incentives and subsidies for other green energy technologies and environmental programs.
