Obama Considering Pro Fracking Dept of Energy Head

Not exciting.

Feb 6 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama is considering naming nuclear physicist Ernest Moniz, who is one of his science and energy advisers, as the next energy secretary, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

Moniz, who was undersecretary at the Energy Department during the Clinton administration, is a familiar figure on Capitol Hill, where he has often talked to lawmakers about how abundant supplies of U.S. natural gas will gradually replace coal as a source of electricity.

Fighting climate change by polluting our groundwater and tripling down on something that may have even worse environmental effects that we have no clue about. Awesome!
