Carol Browner is leaving: does it matter? | Grist

For one thing, it probably means the end of a position, "Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change," that was more or less created for Browner.

Her position was created to shepherd efforts toward a comprehensive climate bill, an enterprise that failed spectacularly. It's hard to know how much blame for that can be laid at Browner's feet, given that the White House never really threw its weight behind the effort and, oh, so many other people and institutions were busy screwing it up, but it's deader than a doorknob.
