Granholm to oversee massive shift in energy policy as Biden seeks to transition U.S. towards more renewable energy

In a symbolic effort to begin that shift, Biden on Wednesday is expected to cancel permits for the 830,000-barrels-per-day Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would limit the future growth of Canada’s largest export to the U.S. and affect the trading relationship between the two countries.

“She’s quite conversant in the importance of Canada/U.S. energy trade and Canada/U.S. auto trade,” said Jim Bowe, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer focused on energy regulation at King & Spalding LLP. “I think she’s pretty respectful of that relationship.”Granholm is widely considered a clean-energy leader, giving speeches in recent years on how the U.S. can create jobs in renewable energy.

“Canada is the largest U.S. energy trading partner and I think that will continue under a Biden administration, but I think the mix is going to change,” said Bernard McNamee, a senior adviser at McGuireWoods Consulting LLC based in Richmond, Va., and a former commissioner at the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission .

These picks include incoming Climate Change Envoy John Kerry and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, as well as expected changes at the energy commission.

Yes we have to concern ourselves about the climate but ask them who they will miss some of these things until an alternative comes A Partial list of the over 6,000 products made from one barrel of oil (after creating 19 gallons of gasoline)

You mean Western Canada to suffer. Oil is going no where soon. Their just going to pump more somewhere else and make the profit instead of Canada.

Her actions will likely have the upper peninsula Michiganders freezing in the dark and will likely further drive resentment of USA under the direction of the Biden-Obama actions.

Jennifer put your pedal to the metal and keep it there!!!

Put another way the Biden team is more than happy to take our hydroelectric power for their own benefit but not willing to provide reciprocal help to Canada on oil exports. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. abpoli skpoli cdnpoli

It's a dying industry. It won't be around much longer with or without Biden.
