Well, Interior Secretary-designee Ken Salazar didn’t outrightly promise that during the first stage of his conrfirmation hearings, with the Senate Committee on Energy and National Resources.
But, when given the chance to promise NOT to drill in sensitive areas in the west, like his home state Colorado’s Roan Plateau, he took a clearly schwaffeling pass at making such a statement.
And, let us not forget that this is a man who, in private life, threatened to sue U.S. Fish and Wildlife if it gave Endangered Species Act listing to the black-tailed prairie dog.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
