If you’ve ever wondered what the outcome of a night of dinner, dancing, too much wine, and unprotected sex might be between hip-hop music and climate change science, wonder no more.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- President-elect Barack Obama unveiled his energy and environment team on Monday, ushering in what's likely to be a dramatic shift in the way the nation tackles the challenges of climate change, energy efficiency and the development of cleaner sources of fuel.

The election of an environmentally friendly Obama administration could not have come at a more crucial time for our country. For the past eight years, we have been the best legal defense against a hostile administration's assault on the environment.

From now on it will be the weekly “Democratic Radio Address” in name only.

President-elect Barack Obama, capitalizing on his successful use of multimedia technologies during the campaign, delivered his message on Saturday using video as well as audio.

The clean energy revolution; what is it? One simple way to label it is; a change from an economy that is based on smog producing fuels to one of that produces environmental friendly sources of energy. But it goes much deeper than that. To me, the clean energy revolution closely resembles Barack Obama’s long fought campaign. In February 2007, our newest elected President announced that he is running for the highest office in our nation. This sparked changes that many people had long awaited.
