Biden set to name former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and former EPA head Gina McCarthy to posts

Joe Biden is reportedly going to name former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy to serve as White House climate coordinator dealing with domestic climate policy. 

McCarthy, who held the EPA post under President Obama, is currently the President and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council. 

It has previously been announced that Biden tapped former Secretary of State John Kerry to serve as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, a post for which he will be on the National Security Council. 

According to reports, Biden will nominate former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to helm the Department of Energy.

Granholm was the Wolverine State's first woman governor, and if confirmed to serve as energy secretary she would become the second female to serve in that post, according to Politico.

In a November opinion piece Granholm wrote that "the private sector needs greater support and political will from our policymakers to help us fully realize the potential of a zero-carbon future."

During Electoral College voting Biden received more than the 270 electoral votes required to win a presidential contest. Electoral votes will be counted on Jan. 6 during a joint session of Congress presided over by Vice President Pence. 

President Trump has not conceded to Biden in the 2020 presidential contest.
