Here's his Green Team:
Steven Chu, who won the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics and now directs the government's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, will head the Energy Department.Lisa Jackson actually says she's an environmentalist. Joe Biden says as Vice President, he will not stand in the way of environmental protections. Obama says "My administration will value science." Music to my ears. He also says that a strong economy and protecting the environment aren't contradictory. Hallelujah!
Chu will work closely with Carol Browner, the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency under Bill Clinton, who Obama said will coordinate White House policy on energy, and climate change among the various federal agencies.
Obama also named Lisa Jackson, the chief of staff for New Jersey's governor, to lead the EPA and Nancy Sutley, a deputy mayor of Los Angeles, to head the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
