Up to now at the moment we now have Gina McCarthy for home local weather czar, Jennifer Granholm for head of the power division and Pete Buttigieg for transportation secretary.
The alternatives maintain coming: it seems like at the moment we even have Ali Zaidi, an aide for New York governor Andrew Cuomo, for deputy White Home local weather coordinator and Michael Regan, high environmental regulator in North Carolina, for EPA administrator.

(@GeoffRBennett)NBC Information confirms that Biden is anticipated to call Jennifer Granholm as power secretary, Gina McCarthy as home local weather coordinator, and Ali Zaidi as deputy White Home local weather coordinator. Michael Regan is probably going alternative for EPA administrator, I am advised.

“She’s actually a pupil of the [energy] transition,” Skip Pruss, who directed the Michigan Division of Vitality, Labor, and Financial Progress beneath Granholm, advised Politico. “In case you had been to ask me what was a limitation in Michigan, I might say that she was barely forward of her time.”
