I've written a few times about green technology and Obama's potential investment in that sphere as a major boon for social entrepreneurs. Change.org's Stop Global Warming blogger Emily Gertz has a nice post today about how Rep. Henry Waxman's ascension to Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee might be the "third leg to the stool" of pro-environment policy.

From Politico: "Chairman Waxman has been a leader on global warming for many years, and we look forward to working closely with him in this new role," said The Natural Resources Defense Council's Karen Wayland in a written statement.  "Our nation faces many challenges, including the climate crisis, and Congressman Waxman understands that we can’t delay in taking on these issues."
