U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm speaks to the media on day five at the UNFCCC COP29 Climate Conference on November 15, 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
A potential decision by Donald Trump to walk back the Biden administration's climate-geared projects would impact jobs in areas governed by the President-elect's own party, outgoing U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told CNBC, urging consistency in Washington's green transition policies.
"We are now building all of these projects.
We're building batteries for electric vehicles, we're building the vehicles, we're building the offshore wind turbines, we're building the solar panels.
When asked for a response on Granholm's comments, Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's transition team, said the president-elect will "deliver" on the promises he made on the campaign trail.
