Environmental Group Announces New President
From our energy and environment blog:
Friends of the Earth this morning announced Erich Pica as its new president. Pica, 34, has coordinated the group's campaigns against nuclear, oil, gas, biofuel and coal subsidies and its efforts to regulate emerging technologies for nearly a decade. Pica replaces retiring President Brent Blackwelder, who has led the group since 1994.
"We're going to redouble our efforts and change the political climate both in Congress as well as in the grassroots," Pica told NationalJournal.com this morning. He criticized the energy bill the House passed in June as "severely compromised" and said his group will continue opposing a cap-and-trade system that could give Wall Street too much power and opportunity for more "financial mischief."
