Bjorn Lomborg, the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist and scourge of the green mainstream, has been appointed the new head of Denmark’s Institute for Environmental Assessment.  His job involves monitoring state agencies to ensure that money for pollution control is spent efficiently.  That means ensuring that it goes to those projects where the return is greatest. 

He has been appointed by the country’s new Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen a free-marketeer who would also like him control public spending on environmental boondoggles.  So far things are moving in the right direction.  Plans for three inefficient and wasteful offshore wind power parks have been dropped, a ban on building in state forests has been lifted, and perhaps most sensible of all the prohibition on beer cans (yes, it’s true, only glass bottles were allowed in Denmark!) has been lifted.  iGreens wish him well.
