President Elect Joe Biden announced his agency review teams. Agency review teams are responsible for understanding the operations of each agency, ensuring a smooth transfer of power. The Biden team states, “[t]he teams have been crafted to ensure they not only reflect the values and priorities of the incoming administration, but reflect the diversity of perspectives crucial for addressing America’s most urgent and complex challenge.”

Curious what that means for the EPA?  See link here.

Notably, the team is stacked with former Obama and NGO representatives.  Lacking at this time is significant representation from the corporate world or industry. Climate experts, former Obama administration officials and green activists are among the team managing the transition for EPA.  This is also true of Energy, Interior and Agriculture departments, and the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
