On the eve of the long State of the Union speech that Barack Obama today in Washington decide (in Italy will be 3 in the morning), the staff of associates with which the American president took office at the White House the day after his election to lose a another piece. To leave this time is the adviser for policies related to climate change and energy Carol Browner.
An exit that has a special relation to the diaspora of the economical and political consultant who has characterized the last months of Obama presidency. Unlike what happened with the various Rahm Emanuel, Lawrence Summers, Christina Romer, and Peter Orszag, you probably do not in fact a "normal" rotation, but a turn linked to the political agenda rather than names.
In confirming the expectations of the site's Political Sull'adda Browner, White House sources stated that her position could remain vacant. A statement that seems to confirm the worst fears of the U.S. environmental movement. Or that there will be a replacement for Carol Browner simply because there will be more policies to which it had been called to collaborate with the Administration.
Upon taking office, catch up on the U.S. transition to a low carbon energy and industry had been placed by Obama among the most important objectives of his mandate. Hence the decision to join the team of the caliber of a character Browner, entrusting him with nothing less than the title of "Empress" for Climate and Energy.
The reality proved very different. The lobby of action related to fossil fuels has been strong and the support of the Democratic Party has come to show lukewarm. So it is definitely enough to make aground in the Senate climate bill, legislation to control emissions of CO2, after approval in the House.
Last November, the drubbing suffered the midterm elections and then gave the final blow to the ambitions of the green president, Obama always pushing further along the road of compromise with Republicans. And to finish on the flat cartel appear to have been the very much disliked by the conservative political climate.
According to rumors circulating on American sites, the vacant position could eventually be carried out by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California champion of ambitious environmental and energy policies. The hypothesis is evaluated with scetticisimo but the most influential commentators.
The truth, Case said David Roberts, is that the place occupied by Browner until now "no longer necessary" because "this Congress will never approve any legislation on climate." Just a few weeks ago the major U.S. environmental groups had written a letter to Obama asking him to finally give a turn to its green policies and in particular to the defense of the EPA, the federal agency for the environment, under constant attack by Republicans.
Beyond the standoff on cutting emissions, Carol Browner also pays some missteps made as a consultant for energy policies at the time of the scandal of the oil spill caused by BP in the Gulf of Mexico, in particular some optimistic statements and denials the severity of the situation.
