I don't really know the rest. The enviros I know all backed BHO heavily, but we will be watching to make sure the right stuff gets done. As usual though, where I have my doubts (Salazar?!?! I heard a very unreliable rumor that Grijalva failed the interview), I am inclined to give the PE the benefit of the doubt since he's been so right so far. Keeping all digits crossed because we can't afford to waste a bunch more time the way we've wasted the last 8 or maybe really 16 years on climate change.

And she's been big on outsourcing cleaning up the mess to “consultants” who are beholden to the very folks who caused the disaster.

Looks like a corporate tool to me. I'm trying not to be disappointed, but it's getting harder. :(
