Browner to Leave White House Post; Effect on Climate, Energy Policy Unclear

摘要

Carol Browner is leaving her post as President Obama's top energy and climate adviser, which means the White House is losing one of its strongest advocates for federal action to address climate change and an individual described by one environmental advocate as Obama's "climate conscience." The effect that her leaving will have on White House environmental and energy policy is unclear. However, a key White House official said Browner's departure does not signal a shift in the administration policy.
