Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm

  • FILE - Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm speaks during a press briefing at the White House, Nov. 23, 2021, in Washington. The Biden administration has issued its first clean energy loan guarantee, reviving an Obama-era program that disbursed billions of dollars in guarantees to help launch the country's first utility-scale wind and solar farms a decade ago but has largely gone dormant in recent years. The Energy Department said it would guarantee up to $1 billion in loans to help a Nebraska company scale up production of "clean" hydrogen to convert natural gas into commercial products that enhance tires and produce ammonia-based fertilizer.

    U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is visiting a historically Black university in South Carolina this week to tout what the Biden administration says is a commitment to funding nuclear engineering at such institutions. Officials tell The Associated Press Granholm will tour the nuclear engineering program at South Carolina State University, in Orangeburg. Granholm will visit the school Thursday along with U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, who's an alumnus. The visit comes as President Joe Biden and other officials tout progress made in implementing the administration's $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, following setbacks on voting rights and other economic efforts.
