President George W. Bush’s lack of action on carbon dioxide regulation frustrated environmentalists and global regulators for years. All signs now point to President Obama moving quickly to try and offset those eight years. John Broder is a reporter for our partner, the New York Times and he landed one of the first interviews with Lisa Jackson, the new administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and he joins us now to highlight some of the Obama administration’s environmental initiatives.
