President Barack Obama on Monday will nominate Environmental Protection Agency air chief Gina McCarthy as the agency's next administrator and MIT physicist Ernest Moniz to take over the Energy Department, sources tell POLITICO.
The announcements will fill two crucial holes in Obama's cabinet, especially important to fulfilling the president's promises to tackle climate change.
As head of EPA's air office, McCarthy has been at the forefront of the agency's fight to enact greenhouse gas regulations on sources like vehicle tailpipes and power plants.
Moniz served in the Clinton administration as undersecretary of energy. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Moniz is a physics professor and director of the university's Energy Initiative, which draws funding from industry oil and gas heavyweights like BP, Saudi Aramco and Shell.
