President Obama is considering naming Ernest J. Moniz as the next Secretary of Energy in apparent recognition that oil and gas development is the best potential revenue source available for the Administration to avoid the type of austerity spending cuts sweeping Europe.

Mr. Moniz is a respected expert on electrical energy and currently serves as Director of MIT's Energy Initiative, a research group that is heavily funded by the oil and gas industry. His predecessor, Steven Chu, pushed hard for job killing cap and trade legislation, prohibited resource exploration on federal lands, and wasted billions of dollars on sustainable energy boondoggles.

You really should put that in a quote box, or italicise it.

So, what's your take on Moniz?

I think it's a vast improvement over Kook Kooka Chu, but I'm leary of Obama's motives.
