Governor Schwarzenegger’s environmental adviser Terry Tamminen (author of the kick-ass book Lives Per Gallon ) stops by to break down the Governator’s letters to EPA head Steve Johnson, threatening a lawsuit if the EPA does not release California (and a line of other states around the corner) from the Clean Air Act. Doesn’t sound very environmental to you? Well, considering that climate change isn’t currently being addressed under the current version of the Clean Air Act (we’ll see what happens, now that we’re post-Mass v. EPA), Schwarzenegger is here actually asking permission to address climate change. But it doesn’t sound like he’ll be merely asking for long. EcoTalk loves it. LISTEN (10 min)

PG&E Senior Vice President Nancy McFadden is the perfect candidate to serve as one of the new faces of energy giant PG&E– now the type of energy giant that helps the San Francisco Giants go solar. Betsy remembers when PG&E wasn’t exactly eager to do sustainable business, and thus she is thrilled to sit down with Nancy and talk about her background working for Vice President Al Gore and California Governors Davis and Schwarzenegger, and everything that PG&E is doing to run a business that internalizes its effects on the earth and its resources, and that now refuses to take its central position between citizens and resources for granted.
