Steve Benen says it's not just Chu—Obama's whole environmental team is top-notch.
Chances are, the only folks who are going to complain about this team are polluters and global-warming deniers. Given the severity of the climate crisis, and the ambitious quality of Obama's energy vision, he couldn't have picked a better team. These aren't officials you pick if you intend to just make a few tepid changes around the periphery of energy policy; these are officials you pick to overhaul the system and implement a bold, 21st-century agenda.
