| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE NEW U.S. SECRETARY OF ENERGY, Ernest Moniz, did not make much of an impression on the Senate Committee that was engaged in confirming him. A question from a Republican senator whether the new Secretary had plans to develop an oil-bearing continental shelf so as to remove the "dependence" of Europe on Russian oil remained unanswered. Moniz also dodged the question about the development of the huge reserves of natural gas in Alaska. The impression was that, despite the achievements that in a short time have let the U.S. come close to energy independence and set the stage for exporting its own energy resources, the Secretary did not have a well-thought-out program for developing the country's energy sector. |
