Startling Disclosure Biden’s Energy Secretary Owning Stock in EV Lobby Group and Company

The recent disclosure of Jennifer Granholm’s stock ownership in an electric vehicle (EV) lobby group and its founding company has caused quite a stir. While some argue that Granholm’s divestment of her assets demonstrates her adherence to ethical standards, others are concerned about the potential implications of her previous investments.

As a starting point, it’s commendable that Granholm took proactive steps to eliminate any conflicts of interest that could arise from her stock ownership. By selling off her holdings in Proterra and the EDTA and agreeing to recuse herself from any decisions that could directly impact Proterra, she has demonstrated her commitment to transparency and ethical conduct.

However, others argue that the mere fact that Granholm had invested in companies related to the industry she now oversees indicates a potential lack of objectivity. Critics argue that her previous investments could influence her decision-making, even if she is no longer financially tied to those companies.

Regardless of which side of the argument you fall on, one thing is clear: Granholm’s disclosure demonstrates the importance of transparency and ethical conduct in our political leaders. As citizens, we should demand that our elected officials and appointees adhere to the highest standards of behavior and always act in the best interest of the American people.
