GreenLatinos Statement on the Nominations for Secretaries of Dept of Transportation and Dept of Energy

GreenLatinos supports the nominations of Pete Buttigieg (DOT) and Jennifer Granholm (DOE), citing Granholm's history of promoting electric vehicles and renewable energy in Michigan and Buttigieg's infrastructure plans. The organization advocates for a federal transition away from fossil fuels and gasoline vehicles toward net-zero electricity and equitable, sustainable infrastructure.

• Jennifer Granholm has a record of promoting clean energy and electric vehicles, including creating incentives for EV technology, supporting wind and solar tax credits, and signing a 2008 law requiring Michigan electric providers to source 10% of energy from renewables by 2015.
• Pete Buttigieg's previous policy proposals include a $1.1 trillion transportation infrastructure plan focused on urban goals, public transportation upgrades, a national Vision Zero policy, and the 'Smarter Streets' initiative in South Bend for pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.
• GreenLatinos advocates for federal leadership to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles, transition to clean renewable energy production, and incentivize power utilities to achieve net zero emissions.
