Obama’s Environmental Team Has Only Just Begun The August 27th article in Newsweek Web Exclusive provides a comprehensive, updated overview of President Obama’s environmental team and their eco-agenda.   “The League of Conservation Voters calls them President Obama’s “Green Dream Team”: Carol Browner, the White House climate czar; Lisa Jackson, the EPA administrator; Ken Salazar, U.S. secretary of the interior; and Steven Chu, U.S. secretary of energy. These men and women have the ear of the president, as well as the power, budget, and commitment to right what many environmentalists see as the wrongdoing of the Bush administration. This fall they will try to pass landmark climate-change legislation in the Senate; approve and oversee countless projects funded with stimulus money and push for international standards for carbon emissions at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. They’ve been lauded by green advocates and lobbyists and pilloried by Republicans and moderate Democrats (particularly from states where industries such as coal still dominate). Whatever your feelings may be about their agenda, one thing is certain: they’ve only just begun.” To read the full article, click here.
