Listening to Jennifer Granholm on #ThisWeek, I couldn't be more excited to see her as Energy Secretary.

She delivered a State of the Union address as governor that focused mainly on creating jobs in Michigan by bringing alternative energy companies to the state.

She passed a renewable portfolio standard, which required that 10% of Michigan's energy would come from renewable sources by 2015 and 25% by 2025.

Since the passage of the standard, Mariah Power, Global Wind Systems, Cascade Swift Turbine, Great Lakes Turbine, and 38 other companies have announced new projects in Michigan. The solar and wind power industries now provide over 10,000 jobs in Michigan.

She has experience in education that will tie directly into this and wants to build a strong coalition of people who want to address climate change, green energy, and green jobs in the incoming administration through the Energy Department.

She's going to help us all tremendously. #Environment #BidenCabinet #ThankYouDemocracy
