It's refreshing that after Trump stacked the "environmental" positions in his administration with industry shills that Biden is looking at people who understand the need to balance the land's economic opportunities with reasonable protections and regulation. Without government regulation and intervention the private sector would pollute everything without a second thought. We've seen this time and time again.

You mean like his pick of Gina McCarthy?

Biden's reported climate czar pick faces pushback over Flint water crisis

President-elect Joe Biden's reported choice of Gina McCarthy to serve as his climate czar has sparked furious debate over the former EPA administrator's role in the Flint water crisis, including pushback from some local officials who served during the lead poisoning of the city's drinking water.

McCarthy, who served as head of the EPA from 2013 to 2017 under former President Barack Obama, was heavily criticized for the agency's response to the lead contamination of the city's water supply.
"The people of Michigan won’t soon forget Gina McCarthy’s mishandling of and failure to adequately respond to the Flint water crisis as EPA Administrator," U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, wrote on Twitter. "That ineptness alone is reason enough to disqualify her from a senior role."


Trump destroyed countless environmental measures and organizational filters that protected air, water, soil and food. One of the most revealing things Trump did that was especially brazen was attaching an amendment to his wealthy-oriented "tax cut" measure that allowed the oil industry to develop further exploration and new drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge, a gift to an industry that gives a shit about ecological protections or water quality. He dismantled numerous monitoring measures and procedures that help us understand pollution levels and natural resource conditions. Trump's selections to manage key administrative environmental positions included an array of oil and mining lobbyists - people beholden to polluters rather than the public. What we witnessed with his flaky disinterest regarding the challenging and complex public health problems related to the pandemic, was also on full display as he slashed and destroyed environmental protections in favor of short-term economic benefits for polluters. It became obvious very quickly in his term that he doesn't care about public health. Originally Posted by Muy Largo
