PEI CURRENTS LECTURE SERIES
Princeton Environmental Institute presents
David Goldston
David Goldston was Chief of Staff of the U.S. House Committee on Science from 2001 through 2006. He
retired from Capitol Hill at the end of 2006 after more than 20 years there, primarily working on science and
environmental policy. Since retiring, he has been a visiting lecturer at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson
School of Public and International Affairs and at the Harvard University Center for the Environment. Goldston
also writes the monthly column “Party of One” on science policy for the journal Nature. He recently began
directing a study of the use of science in regulatory policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington think
tank. He also serves on numerous panels advising the government on a variety of topics, including panels
appointed by the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American
Physical Society and OMB Watch.
During his campaign, Barack Obama laid out an ambitious plan for energy
and climate policy, including a strict cap-and-trade program and massive new
investments in energy research. How are such proposals likely to fare in the
first years of an Obama Administration? What factors will affect the new
President’s success in this area? What can the new Administration do to
make progress in addressing climate change and the U.S. dependence on
fossil fuels?
