Mr. Obama nominated Gina McCarthy, a tough-talking native of Boston and an experienced clean air regulator, to take charge at the Environmental Protection Agency, and Ernest J. Moniz, a physicist and strong advocate of natural gas and nuclear power as cleaner alternatives to coal, to run the Department of Energy.

So, administration appoints people who will try to avoid us having air like China, right wing freaks out. Awesome. If they love coal so much, they should just suck on their pick-up truck’s tailpipe for an hour every day.
