Other policy issues such as salmon restoration, charter forests, wetlands restoration, biotechnology, and clean air also come to mind as important environmental topics. Of course, the likelihood that all these matters will be settled over the tenure of his next four years is far-fetched, and no one should expect miracles from any Administration, leave alone this one. But it is clear that this President has a unique opportunity to make an imprint on weighty subjects with the clout and support few of his predecessors ever enjoyed. Only time will tell if he can do so effectively.
