Summary: After winning higher auto fuel economy earlier this year, what are the EPA's next big priorities?

In her first visit to California as the country's chief environmental regulator, Lisa Jackson lays out her vision for cleaning up America's air, water and land. What are her plans on toxics, mining and other hot-button issues? And with climate legislation winding through Congress, what is her view on a national renewable fuel standard and other drivers moving toward a clean energy future? How does she plan to "sell" environmentalism in minority communities?
