WASHINGTON - Joe Biden wrapped up a team heavy on deal-makers and fighters to lead his climate effort Thursday, tasking it with remaking and cleaning up the nation’s transportation and power-plant systems, and as fast as politically possible.
While the president-elect’s picks have the experience to do the heavy lifting required in a climate overhaul of the U.S. economy, they also seem to be reassuring skeptics that he won’t neglect the low-income, working class and minority communities hit hardest by fossil fuel pollution and climate change.
Progressives, energy lobbyists, environmental groups and auto workers welcomed Biden’s choice of popular former Mayor Pete Buttigieg as transportation secretary. His picks of former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm for energy secretary and former Environmental Protection Agency chief Gina McCarthy as leader of domestic climate efforts also were met with general applause.
Biden is also tapping environmental lawyer and Obama administration official Brenda Mallory to run the Council on Environmental Quality, the president-elect announced Thursday. The office oversees environmental reviews for virtually all major infrastructure projects and advises the president on major environmental issues.
Biden late Thursday called it a “tested team of bold thinkers” who “know how to pull every lever of government to take on the urgent, existential threat of climate change.”
“They share my belief that we have no time to waste to confront the climate crisis, protect our air and drinking water, and deliver justice to communities that have long shouldered the burdens of environmental harms,” he said in a statement.

Fighters AND deal-makers! Pricipled folks AND pragmatists! Hey, Democrats! Whatever you want from Biden, that’s what he is!
Hmm. Trump likes fighters and dealmakers.

So when “Half-Man—Half Grin Biden” finagled the Amtrak spot for crackhead Hunter ,
Hunter was asked what his qualifications were: Hunter, “The Mouth Without a Brain” said: “I ride Amtrak trains a lot.”
Had an AMBER ALERT @ 4:00am. We need a BIDEN ALERT. It’s for the children.
A CCP ALERT, too.
Biden is clearly going to be the most awesomest president since Obama.
Everybody knows "Inclusive Biden" is explicitly messaging the gayders, demeaning their lifestyle ....
implying homo Buttegieg likes riding caboose........
An “extreme barf alert” is needed for this piece of Democrat propaganda. No telling how many people reading this slime lost their breakfast all over their keyboard.
“While the president-elect’s picks have the experience to do the heavy lifting required in a climate overhaul of the U.S. economy, they also seem to be reassuring skeptics that he won’t neglect the low-income, working class and minority communities hit hardest by fossil fuel pollution and climate change.”
What the F does this even mean? That they’re not going to screw over the poor/minorites with stratospheric energy prices? And how are they the “hardest hit” by an imaginary problem? Do poor people own oceanfront properties that were supposed to be under water by now?
Oh, Lord...
We’re gonna hafta listen to this self-congratulatory, all-too-precious, claptrap and BOMFOG for the next time period — and then it’ll get lots worse under the Kamunist.
Go, please save the United States of America!
While the president-elect’s picks have the experience to do the heavy lifting required...”
ALL of these people have been in politics before Trump, many foe DECADES. WHAT has any of them ever fixed?
Interesting to contrast the AP article about deal makers and fighters with American Thinker talking about total lack of qualifications.
God help us.
Just so it’s known that buttplug is going to be a Progressive disaster meaning REAL policy catastrophes
“This train is not bound for glory. It’s off the rails, in the ditch, and on fire. We spend way too much money building new roads, we drive too much, and our gas is too cheap. We have more square footage devoted to parking cars than to housing people.” -Slate ‘s leftist agenda
Deal-makers Xi & media make up Biden’s new team.
A disaster in the making.
Include the EPA and the return of the WOTUS disaster
WOTUS (Waters of the United States) the largest Federal Land Grab in history.
