"If Congress won’t act soon to protect future generations, I will," Barack Obama said last month in his state-of-the-union speech. "I will direct my cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy." This week Mr. Obama named the officials charged with fulfilling that directive: Gina McCarthy, his choice to head the Environmental Protection Agency, and Ernest Moniz, the prospective new secretary of energy. Their selection suggests that Mr. Obama is indeed serious about tackling climate change, but not doctrinaire in his approach.
Ms Mc Carthy already works at the EPA, where she is in charge of air quality. That has given her a leading role drafting the administration’s most ambitious and controversial environmental rules, including limits on emissions of greenhouse gases for new power plants and strict fuel-efficiency requirements for cars. She is the natural candidate to oversee the most obvious and consequential step Mr. Obama could take to stem global warming: a regulation curbing emissions from existing power plants.
Republicans do not fancy that idea at all, and have introduced bills in Congress to strip the EPA of its regulatory authority over greenhouse gases. They often accused Lisa Jackson, the agency’s previous boss, of disregarding the cumulative impact of its many clean-air rules, and suffocating industry as a result.
Yet Ms McCarthy makes an unlikely target. She has worked for Republican governors in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Industry groups mustered kind words about her nomination. As Mr. Obama put it," She’s earned a reputation as a straight-shooter."
Barack Obama will take steps to do all EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、reducing pollution now and in the future
B、finding more sustainable sources of energy
C、preparing for the consequences of climate change
D、investing more funds in public health care system
答案
D
解析
答案出现在首段第二句:I will direct my cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take,now and in the future,to reduce pollution,prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change,and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy.其中只有选项D未提及,故选项D为答案。
