APGA Congratulates Energy Secretary Granholm
Washington, D.C. (February 25, 2021) – The American Public Gas Association (APGA), representing more than 700 local, municipally-owned natural gas systems in 38 states, issued the following statement in response to the confirmation of the Secretary for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE):
“APGA congratulates Jennifer Granholm on her appointment as Energy Secretary. We appreciate and echo the sentiment she shared at her confirmation hearing that the U.S. cannot reach its goal of net zero emissions by 2050 without natural gas being part of the solution.
“APGA members are strong supporters of energy efficiency and focus on providing their communities with safe, reliable, and affordable energy to be used for cooking, clothes drying, and space and water heating, in addition to other residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Increased efficiency of natural gas and the efficiency of renewable energy have led to energy-related carbon dioxide emissions hitting 25-year lows.
“APGA looks forward to continued engagement with Secretary Granholm and DOE in appliance efficiency rulemakings to ensure that the direct use of natural gas continues to be a clean, efficient, and affordable energy option for Americans.”
