I guess in this day and age all big corporations feel like they have to have "environmental advisors," and I suppose if you can get one who knows the regime's attack-dog ways, you'd best hire her

Seth Mandel at Commentary says that that must be the reason Apple hired former EPA head Lisa Jackson:

So why would Apple hire her? Rago [at the WSJ] suggests that Apple executives, who are being dragged in front of congressional committees for obeying tax laws and making money, might think bringing Jackson on board would insulate them from the political attacks. At the Washington Examiner, Tim Carney asks: “Will Jackson’s job be about chasing subsidies for the renewable investments Apple is already making?” Whatever the reason, if her past experience is any indication, even with the best of intentions it will be counterproductive and costly.
