On Tuesday, President-elect Obama announced his team to focus on green energy and the environment. I have high hopes for Team Obama where US enviromental policy is concerned. I feel that with Obama we have an administration which will be focused more on proactive solutions to our enviromental challanges.
The obstructionist, know nothing approach of the present administration has been very dangerous in my humble opinion, and was more about helping it's energy company constituents take money out of the economy, than it was about promoting the common good.
The transition website, Change.gov, lists the Obama appointments.

Of all the things Obama said, what struck me the most was his acknowledgment that he isn't the first incoming President to promise progress on alternative energy and energy independence and his words "This time must be different."

So far I've been very encouraged. Not too sure about Salazar, but very willing to give him a chance.
