Carbon-intensive forms of energy may also benefit from such reforms. May the best technologies win.We advocate for innovation policy reforms that are urgently needed, irrespective of climate, because climate has become a needlessly divisive issue in the larger landscape of energy policy. There is much that Americans could agree upon in energy policy if climate was not the focus.While choosing to set those debates aside, however, we note that our agenda could nevertheless be seen as an example of the approach to climate policy that conservatives used to espouse. Beginning in the George H. W. Bush administration, many conservatives advocated a “no-regrets” climate policy—the belief that we should take steps to improve our energy system in ways that would reduce our climate risks, but which we would not regret if those risks turn out to be overstated.We believe that the opportunities to reduce climate risks through an innovation-centered “no-regrets” policy have never been greater than they are today. Different parties may make their own judgment as to how many “regrets” we should risk on climate-conscious policies, but everyone should be able to agree that <a title="Reform Agenda" href="http://sandbox.redicedesigns.com/energyinnovation/reform-agenda/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(188, 54, 10); text-decoration-line: none;">fixing America’s energy innovation system makes sense</a>.<hr style="box-sizing: border-box; background: url(" images="images" dotted-line.png="dotted-line.png" center="center" top="top" px="px" repeat="repeat" rgb="rgb" border="border" height="height" margin="margin" /><h4 style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 1.3; margin: 25px 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a id="sam-bio" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><input id="more-button" type="button" value="Samuel Thernstrom Biography" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; border-top: none; border-right: none; border-bottom: 3px none rgb(185, 50, 7); border-left: none; padding: 11px 24px 10px 0px; background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-radius: 2px; -webkit-appearance: button; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 700;" /></a></h4></div><div>Samuel Thernstrom is executive director of the Energy Innovation Reform Project, a nonprofit organization that promotes the development of advanced energy technologies and practices that will improve the affordability, reliability, safety, and security of American energy supplies and our energy economy.

</div><div>Overall, the Trump team has announced dozens of members of its so-called <a href="http://www.eenews.net/special_reports/powershift/transitions" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font-weight: bold;">landing teams</a> for agencies across the federal government. But it's announced a combined total of just seven for EPA and the Energy and Interior departments — agencies with a total workforce of about 100,000 federal employees.Two of those team members were announced earlier today, one for DOE and another at EPA. The Trump team named Amy Oliver Cooke, executive vice president and director of the Energy Policy Center for the Colorado free-market think tank Independence Institute, to the EPA team (<a href="http://www.eenews.net/greenwire/2016/12/01/stories/1060046510" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font-weight: bold;">see related story</a>). Martin Dannenfelser Jr., formerly of the Energy Innovation Reform Project, was added to DOE's team.Within the Trump landing teams, backgrounds and experience vary widely.Myron Ebell, a climate skeptic and a scholar at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, is the EPA transition team leader. He has a background in economics and hasn't worked at EPA or in the federal government. Cooke has worked with CEI to oppose Colorado's carbon tax and the state's renewable energy mandate.At DOE, the four landing team officials announced so far have energy experience but limited experience inside the agency, which has a broad portfolio including nuclear waste cleanup and support for renewable energy grant and loan programs.<aside id="image_asset_layout_14653" class="left span5 image_asset_layout" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: border-box; float: left; max-width: 180px; width: 180px;">urtesy of Mitchell via Twitter.</aside>DOE team leader Tom Pyle is president of the American Energy Alliance, a former lobbyist for Koch Industries and a former Republican congressional aide. He's joined by Travis Fisher, an economist at the Institute for Energy Research and a former employee at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; Kelly Mitchell, a Michigan Republican Party operative and a sales account manager at a tool company; and Dannenfelser, whom the transition team said was formerly employed by the Energy Innovation Reform Project.The Interior Department's team leader — and the only name of that team announced so far — does have experience working inside the agency.Doug Domenech was Interior's deputy chief of staff at the agency during the George W. Bush administration. He's currently director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation's Fueling Freedom Project.Across other agencies, Trump's landing team members come with mixed experiences in the federal government and the private sector.Some are young up-and-comers with limited career experience.Catharine O'Neill, who was announced as a member of the State Department's landing team, is a recent college graduate, according to her LinkedIn profile. She graduated earlier this year from the University of Vermont with a bachelor's degree in Latin American studies and political science. She interned for the summer on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.</div><div></div><div>frc 2000</div><div>
