Where We Live: Dan Esty Goes Green
Dan Esty is the new head of the Department of Environmental Protection – and if Governor Dannel Malloy gets his way, that job will grow to include “Energy” in the title.
Esty’s a Yale professor who’s advised President Obama on energy policy, and several corporations on how to “go green.”
He’s been talking about how to create more “green jobs” in the state – how to speed up the DEP’s permitting process – and how to bring down our sky-high energy costs. But this is a big job. So how is he going to protect the environment while making life easier for business?
