In a recent hearing, Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm bent over backwards to defend China, praising it for its investments in green energy, despite its terrible emissions record.
She also claimed that America lacks the moral authority to criticize China, despite its known human rights abuses.
Are you starting to feel like members of Biden’s team are being compromised by China? At a certain point, what else can we conclude?

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm praises China – again – for being the biggest investor in ‘clean energy’
Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Thursday doubled down on her praise for China for being the world’s biggest investor in ‘clean energy’ technology, despite also being the biggest. global emitter of CO2.
During a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing, Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) asked Granholm about his March 10, 2023 comments that “we can all learn from what the China” on the environment, and another remark saying that the United States lacked the moral authority to criticize China.
Reschenthaler asked Granholm if she knew at that time that 30% of global CO2 emissions came from China. Granholm replied, “Oh, yes.”
She also confirmed that she was aware that China “emits more than the US, the whole of the EU and Japan combined”; that China is commissioning two coal-fired power plants per week; that China’s coal-fired power plants generate 23% more energy than all the energy produced in the United States combined; and that the Paris climate agreement allows China to increase its emissions until 2030.
Reschenthaler then pressed Granholm: “Knowing that you knew all of this when you made that comment, would you withdraw your praise for China?”
Granholm refused to withdraw his praise. “No, my praise for China was for what they are doing to invest in clean energy, even though they are the biggest emitter in the world,” she said, adding: “They are investing four times more than the United States”.
