I should mention I reached out to the Biden transition team, but never heard back. And a Moniz spokesperson told me he isn't doing interviews.
I spoke to a number of people who felt this way, and who made various arguments for Moniz. Robert Armstrong , who serves as director of the MIT Energy Institute and has worked with Moniz for decades, says Biden would be smart to pick Moniz given his experience at the DOE, the relationships he has with climate leaders internationally, and his deep understanding of nuclear power and non-proliferation.
Armstrong was also critical of progressive climate activists who have demanded the Biden administration not appoint anyone with fossil fuel ties: "I think the litmus test ought to be commitment to addressing climate change," he says.
And he provides a fact-based and data-driven approach to going after climate change as a challenge, and what can help get us there the fastest. I think it does. Most people acknowledge that we need to transition away from fossil fuels and deeply decarbonize our energy systems, and while that transition is certainly underway, the decisions we make in the next few years are going to be really, really critical in determining how this all plays out.
I talked to Jesse Jenkins, a professor at Princeton who studies energy systems and decarbonization. And I think he put it really well. To combat rising prices, Granholm told Bloomberg in an interview last week that tapping America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve "is certainly on the table as an option. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve holds up to million barrels of crude oil. It's located in sites along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coasts and is the world's largest backup oil supply.
It's designed as a buffer to protect the United States from a major supply disruption, such as a natural disaster or war. Perry pointed out that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve isn't designed for "long-term assistance," adding that tapping it would be "a fool's errand. I think he's making it up as he goes. Biden said on Saturday his administration has "other tools" to deal with high oil prices. Skip Navigation.
