LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – In her final move before being booted from her job as U.S. Secretary of Energy, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm sent $14 billion to Michigan and earmarked it for green energy projects.

Granholm gave the funds to DTE Energy and Consumers Energy for the projects, two companies with which the former governor reportedly has ties. In addition, Michigan’s Potash Company received $1.3 million to “fund a sustainable fertilizer plant.”

According to the Washington Free Beacon, “DTE Energy’s political action committee contributed more than $34,000 to Granholm’s 2006 gubernatorial campaign, according to state records. Then-DTE Energy CEO Stephen Ewing, whom Granholm appointed to serve on the state’s Early Childhood Investment Corporation Executive Committee, personally donated another $3,400 to Granholm’s campaign in 2004.”

But that’s not all. The Free Beacon also reported that the political action committee affiliated with Consumers Energy gave the Granholm gubernatorial campaign $25,000 in that same timespan. “Brandon Hofmeister, the company’s current senior vice president of strategy, sustainability, and external affairs, served as Granholm’s energy and climate policy adviser and deputy legal counsel when she was governor,” according to reports.

Watchdog group sounds alarm.

Three years ago, the Inflation Reduction Act triggered the reactivation of the Loan Programs Office and its ability to lend money. The office reportedly gave $107.4 billion in “green loans” to push the Biden administration’s climate change agenda, as reported by the Free Beacon.

Last month, the Department of Energy’s inspector general issued a report calling on Granholm’s department to suspend the program, but those orders were ignored.

Read the room, Jen.

Granholm has been out of touch with Michigan for quite some time, and throwing money at the state won’t likely change the minds of outraged Michiganders. Many recently pushed back on the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and its plan to use public land near Gaylord for solar farms.

Currently, the DNR is suspending those future green energy projects, but they are likely to pop up on the radar soon.
