Fred Krupp
President, Environmental Defense Fund
Fred Krupp is president of Environmental Defense Fund, a position he has held for three decades. In 2011, as a member of the energy secretary's advisory panel for shale gas production, he was a powerful voice for strong regulation of natural gas development to protect local communities from air, water, and climate pollution. Among EDF's achievements during his tenure is the market-based acid rain policy that has reduced average US air concentrations of sulfur dioxide by 76 percent since 1990.
