Obama Energy Secretary Named to Board of Utility Giant

Obama energy secretary named to utility giant's board.

Former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has been tapped to serve on the board of electric utility giant Southern Co. Moniz, who served under former President Obama from 2013 to 2017, will be an independent director on the board.

President Obama on Friday praised Heather Zichal, who is resigning from her post as his energy and climate czar.... "For more than five years, I have been fortunate to have Heather Zichal as a trusted advisor," Obama said in a statement on Friday.

"She crafted my energy and climate change agenda in the 2008 campaign, then again on my Presidential transition, and as my top energy and climate adviser at the White House, she has been a strong and steady voice for policies that reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, protect public health and our environment, and combat the threat of global climate change," Obama said.

How does she "Combat the threat of global climate change"? By cashing in her chips at the Bank of Big Energy, like Obama's Energy Secretary just did.

One of those Obama alums, former top White House climate and energy staffer Heather Zichal, now sits on the Board of Directors for Cheniere.

Others include a Director of Public Affairs in the Obama Energy Department, a Coordinator for International Energy Affairs, a Chief of Staff in the Obama's.
