but China is a heavy "carbon pollutant"
During an interview with SXSW Studio host Wajahat Ali, Granholm was asked what could be done to hold both China and the U.S. accountable for their contributions to climate change, to which she said the U.S. is working to get other countries to agree to "very aggressive targets" to prevent climate change, according to Fox News.
"But, I think China has done — has been very sensitive and has actually invested a lot in their solutions to achieve their goals," Granholm said. "So we’re — we’re hopeful that, you know, we can all learn from what China is doing."
Granholm added that the amount of money China is investing "in clean energy is actually, you know, encouraging."
The secretary's statement regarding China comes after the country recently hit its coal-production record in 2022. A total of "55% of China’s energy" now comes from fossil fuel "compared to 11% in the U.S.," according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
