Administrator talks about the successes of the program

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plays a critical role in energy policy and practice in the United States. For example, the EPA collaborates on a voluntary labeling pro grain called Energy Star, which identifies energy saving strategies and products for large and small energy users nationwide. Jean Lupinacci spoke with EUN about the future of this program.

EUN: Jean, what is your role at the Environmental Protection Agency?

LUPINACCI: I am the director of the Commercial and Industrial Markets in the Climate Protection Partnership Division.

EUN: What does that involve? What is the role of a manager in EPA programs?

LUPINACCI: I set the broad direction and goals for the branch, and develop the short- and long-term plan. I work with the staff and the team managers to develop specific tools and activities to accomplish those goals.

EUN: What is the EPA's role in setting energy or environmental policy?
