Obama Appoints Green Team
Obama announces energy team.
December 11, 2008
Soon-to-be-prez Barack Obama has not wasted any time pulling together an agenda for a greener future, and yesterday was no different. Mr. President-elect appointed a green quartet including Steven Chu, director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as Secretary of Energy; Carol Browner, who headed up the EPA under President Bill Clinton, as a new “energy czar”; Lisa Jackson, a former environmental-policy official in New Jersey, as the EPA administrator; and lastly, Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Nancy Sutley as the chairwoman of the President’s Council on Environmental Quality. Let’s hope these eco officials cement some real changes into America’s framework before it’s too late.
