Gina McCarthy was confirmed yesterday by the Senate to become the next administrator overseeing the Environmental Protection Agency under Barack Obama.  McCarthy headed the air and radiation office for the EPA before being tapped and then confirmed for the top job in the EPA.  McCarthy has long been a staunch proponent of regulations, specifically air, so her appointment is seen as a victory for environmentalists in stemming the ever-emitting greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.  Business officials also view this confirmation in a positive light due to McCarthy's strong record working with businesses to keep them in the loop and able to compete domestically and internationally.  Although she was picked more than four months ago to head the EPA, McCarthy had to undergo an extensive process that required hundreds of questions concerning her background and goals as head of the EPA.  Though there is support for McCarthy on both sides, some people, such as Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia, are not quite as happy stating her regulations as unhealthy for business and without an alternative.
