A few days ago, researchers at Rice University’s Baker Institute released a report warning of the human and economic costs of moving too rapidly to a desired “energy transition” from fossil fuels to renewables and electric vehicles.
The study notes that past energy transitions, such as from wood to coal and from coal to oil, took decades to come to fruition and involved moves from less energy-dense sources to more energy-dense fuels. That is not the case with the current energy transition, which proposes a rapid move from high-density to low-density energy sources.
Given that and other realities, the authors warn that the negative human and economic impacts from government and investor efforts to force the transition too rapidly “risks destabilizing a global energy-food-water-human well-being nexus that, sufficiently perturbed, would likely delay energy transition efforts for decades.”
Clearly, not everyone is ready for green energy and electric cars. Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm should be numbered among those individuals. She recently struggled with a charger at one of the charging stations that the Biden administration is touting as a solution to the gas price crisis.

Remember when GHWB was ‘amazed’ at a grocery store scanner?................
It is really difficult to decide who is the greatest nitwit in the Biden Administration as the competition for the title is fierce.
Electricity comes from a wall outlet, food comes from plastic and cardboard cartons, government officials are wise, and money grows on trees.
I like her eyebrows.
What make vehicle is that? Don’t recognize it.
Remember that these people are ignorant. And if they are not, they are lying.
I admit that they are impressive.
Wasn’t she the one drinking people’s used drinks off the table?
Sounds like she had a liquid lunch.
SMDH!
“How Does This Work? Look Amazing!”
Maybe she was looking at an xray of her head.
Baidung’s cabinet members are in a race to the bottom.
Probably gets chauffeured around in a big as* Black Govt. SUV with gas paid for by the Govt.
I didn’t get anything negative from watching the short video clip. She was being chatty and trying to be as interactive as possible. Sure, she could have just hooked up the power, but she was trying to make an entertaining photo op. In my opinion, and I don’t like any of Biden’s people, she did an okay job of it. If his is all they’ve got this article is no different than the typical liberal hit pieces on any Republican. Take an eight second video of anyone and you can make them look like an idiot. (By the way, why didn’t the author mention that Hillary sold a huge chunk of American uranium mining to Russia? Has that been memory-holed?)
She would have a hard time plugging in her toaster. Figure out TV remote? Forget about it!

Oh heavens!
Ha! Canada Jen.
Maybe Trump can deport her in 2025.
The wacko greenies have 2yrs left, with total power control, to get their stupid EV crap done; they will go all-out to destroy us and the Country before they lose their all-powerful hold on the 3 Branches of Government.
It has to be very difficult being a product planner at the vehicle manufacturers knowing the whole plan could quickly change in 2025. We’re talking dozens of factories and tooling.
