Re: “Obama picks three for his Cabinet ,” March 5 news brief.
I would like to offer my support for Gina McCarthy to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. McCarthy has a history of stellar work to reduce carbon emissions, including working with Republican governors and the EPA. She shows her commitment by working with both parties, insisting that we can have a healthy environment along with a strong economy. Her push for controversial EPA standards, like those on new power plants and mercury pollution, show she has the potential to truly implement change. Reducing carbon emissions is crucial for Coloradans since we are already seeing impacts of global warming from worsening droughts and wildfires. We are counting on McCarthy and the EPA to set carbon limits for new and existing power plants so we can address the largest sources of global warming pollution.
