Will Jim Roth Replace Bode At Clean Skies?
The rumor mill is working overtime about a successor to Denise Bode at Aubrey McClendon's Clean Skies Foundation in Washington, and the present focus is defeated Corporation Commissioner Jim Roth, whose campaign co-chairman was McClendon.
Bode, who resigned from the Corporation Commission to take the McClendon job and was succeeded by Roth, resigned to become head of an organization pushing wind power.
Roth's campaign was fueled, in large part, by donations from McClendon and his associates at Chesapeake. The alliance between the two goes back to Roth's tenure as an Oklahoma County commissioner and was detailed here in early October.
McClendon is said to have been instrumental in convincing Governor Brad Henry to name Roth to the Corporation Commission when Bode resigned. The American Wind Energy Association will be third energy group in Washington headed by Bode. She spent seven years as the head of the Independent Petroleum Association of America before being appointed to the Corporation Commission in 1997.
"I am thrilled by my new opportunity of working with the AWEA team to grow wind power in the U.S.,” Bode, 54, said in a news release. "I am particularly proud of the role I played as Oklahoma corporation commissioner to bring commercial wind power to Oklahoma.”
Tom Price, senior vice president for corporate development at Chesapeake, said potential successors to Bode at the Clean Skies organization have already been identified.
