Finally a Little Good Environmental News from White House

Has someone finally put a green tint on the White House (esp. after all the fracking, support of Big Oil and Keystone Pipelines - here)? The Washington Post reports that "Some of this would presumably lead to battles with industry, but if the Politico story is right, Podesta will internally push for such confrontations, even if they are politically daunting. Additionally, the White House has also laid out its own climate action agenda, some of which would be accomplished through executive action, including empowering the EPA to get tougher on polluters and the imposition of new carbon limits on existing plants."

Podesto says he will only stay a year. He'll have to wear a mask and sharpen his sword if he plans on having much impact in 2014.
