Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm gave a pithy response at a White House press briefing last week. A reporter asked her how the government would be responding in the wake of the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack by Russian hackers.

“We obviously are ‘all in’ on making sure that we meet the president’s goals of getting to 100% clean electricity by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” Granholm said.“And, you know, if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you, clearly.”
