Among the names being floated to take over the job: Ali Zaidi, McCarthy’s deputy; climate guru John Podesta, who had a similar role in the Obama White House; Christy Goldfuss, who led the Obama administration’s Council on Environmental Quality; former Obama Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz; White House climate aide David Hayes; and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
John Podesta, President Barack Obama’s former top climate adviser, said there’s still work to be done.
“At the end of the day, the story of the first couple years of the administration is going to be written on whether he could make good on the promise that is embedded in those massive investments, and the story is still out on that,” Podesta said.
