President Elect Joe Biden has announced the nominees for his climate team.
The team includes his picks for EPA Administrator, Michael Regan; Interior Secretary, Congresswoman Deb Haaland; Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm; Council of Environmental Quality Chair, Brenda Mallory; National Climate Advisor, Gina McCarthy; and Deputy National Climate Advisor, Ali Zaidi.
Biden says the team will be ready on day one because there is no time to waste. He says just like a unified national response is needed to COVID-19, there is a need for a unified national response to climate change.
Biden is calling for modernizing water, transportation, and energy infrastructure as well as expansion of renewable energy.
