Statement From Gregory Wetstone, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE):
“We are delighted to see Deb Haaland named the new Secretary of the Interior. The Interior Department will be instrumental in accelerating the deployment of renewable power, both onshore and offshore. Under her leadership, we can together unlock billions of dollars of private sector investment in clean energy, create tens of thousands of American jobs and tackle the climate crisis.”
Posting on Twitter, Deb Haaland commented,
"A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.
Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.
I am honored and ready to serve."
