It's a huge job and a good place for Pete. Infrastructure, climate change cooperation, working with state and local officials, and new transportation systems and repairing old ones. Yay!

And being ex-military, he knows exactly how to get it done.  Logistics, etc. 

I'm happy with this.

But what is her stance on high efficiency shower heads, and low flow toilets?

 

Hair Apparent: Trump Pushes ‘High-Performance’ Showerhead Agenda Forward as Sun Sets on Presidency

 

President Donald Trump‘s fixation on and concern about “high-performance” showerheads remains a priority, the Department of Energy revealed on Tuesday when announcing it had issued final rules on the subject.

 

Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said in a statement that Trump administration had “affirmed its commitment to reducing regulatory burdens and safeguarding consumer choice,” ensuring that Americans “can choose products that are best suited to meet their individual needs and the needs of their families.”

 

“We’re bringing back consumer choice in home appliances so that you can buy washers and dryers, showerheads and faucets. So showerheads — you take a shower, the water doesn’t come out. You want to wash your hands, the water doesn’t come out. So what do you do? You just stand there longer or you take a shower longer? Because my hair — I don’t know about you, but it has to be perfect. Perfect,” Trump said to laughter and applause in July.

 

The Energy Department said it is taking steps to give Americans showerheads that provide “more water” and “more comfort”

Among the most high-profile picks, Biden’s transition team is expected to name Gina McCarthy, former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under the Obama administration, to lead domestic climate policy coordination, two sources familiar with the process said. Biden’s team did not comment.

McCarthy, 66, would oversee domestic climate change policy efforts across all government agencies and departments, and serve as a counterpart to former Secretary of State John Kerry, whom Biden appointed as his special envoy on climate change.


She is currently president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, a national environmental group. As EPA administrator to President Barack Obama, she crafted some of his administration’s signature climate policies, including the Clean Power Plan to slash emissions from power plants.

 

Her deputy will be Ali Zaidi, chairman of climate policy and finance for New York state, according to the sources.

For the interior secretary post, Biden appears to favor U.S. Representative Deb Haaland of New Mexico, three informed sources said, a pick, that if confirmed by the Senate, would make her the first Native American to lead a Cabinet agency.

 

The position would give Haaland, 60, authority over a department that employs more than 70,000 people across the United States and oversees more than 20% of the nation’s surface, including tribal lands and national parks like Yellowstone and Yosemite.

 

She has told Reuters she would seek to usher in an expansion of renewable energy production on federal land to contribute to the fight against climate change, and undo Trump’s focus on bolstering fossil-fuels output.

Biden has yet to announce a decision on who should lead the Environmental Protection Agency, but is vetting several serious contenders, including Michael Regan, who leads North Carolina’s environmental regulator, and Mary Nichols, head of California’s Air Resources Board, said sources close to the matter.
