"The Obama Administration is seeking public input on a proposal that would open energy exploration within the United States."

"The Department of the Interior (DOI) has proposed 31 new offshore areas to drill located around the country."

Is Sarah Palin the New Energy Czar?

Actually I forgot to mention the Pickens Plan. IMO That is the way towards future energy needs.

He's being the pragmatist guy, open to listening to opposing views that I expected him to be. Something that is uncommon in politics.

Heritage Foundation
The best-known and most influential right-wing think tank, the Heritage Foundation owes much of its success to savvy marketing and PR and the generous donations of right-wing benefactors, foundations and wealthy corporations. The foundation boasts about its influence on Capitol Hill yet insists that it does not "lobby."

HORRIBLE idea. You can't keep sucking the planet dry and expect not to pay an enormous environmental crisis down the line. The ONLY long-term solution is solar, wind, and geothermal.

P. S. The Obama administration is not "seeking" anything.

This is a conservative think tank trying to get conservatives to bombard the WH with emails.

Salazar is an industry industry and should have NEVER been appointed as Secretary of the Interior.

It's bad anywhere. Obama's as dumb as Bush was, in terms of the environment. He also lied about moving us in the direction of renewable energy and a green future.

People have got to stop looking for and reaching short-term solutions. This is really, really bad for the planet. It's like sucking the blood and guts out of a living organism. Sooner rather than later, we will all pay the price.
