Obama will name Steven Chu his choice for Energy secretary, Lisa Jackson for EPA administrator and Carol Browner as energy "czar" reporting to the president.
Chu has Impeccable credentials in science management and as an experimental physicist; he shared the 1997 Nobel prize in physics. Dr. Chu, an Asian-American, would also bring diversity to the cabinet.
Chu has spoken out against Yucca Mountain and has worked on programs that have researched the potentials of alternative energies. Chu is also a strong proponent of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
