On Wednesday’s The New Day on CNN, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the Biden administration today wants oil and gas companies to increase output, but “become different energy companies to do another way to clean energy.”
Host John Berman says, “Would you say that in five years, in ten years, you want them to extract more oil, would you want refineries to produce more fuel in five or ten years?” she asked.
“We are now talking about the fact that we need to increase supply. Of course, in five to ten years – indeed, in the near future, we will also step on the accelerator, if you will, to move towards clean energy so as not to fall under the balls of oil dictators like Putin. or at the whim of the volatility of fossil fuels. Ultimately, America will be safer when we can rely on our own clean energy generation from the sun, wind…
Berman interrupted, “But that’s the problem with these companies. These companies are talking. You’re asking me to do more now, invest more now, actually we don’t think there will be demand five or ten years from now, and the management doesn’t want it to happen. One question: The President is traveling to Saudi Arabia, where we understand he will meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Are there any initial promises that the Saudis will increase production?”
Granholm replied, “No, nothing was promised in advance. It’s not, no. And let me just say, John, what we really want for us is to move to clean energy, but we also need to see this growth now, and also from oil and gas companies to diversify and parts of it. they are turning to diversified energy companies to produce other forms of clean energy. Because they have such big pockets, they have a good opportunity to invest in the future, and they are also investing now so that we don’t see oil and gas causing inflation figures and people suffering every day. . ”
