It's a strange world when a Democratic president does in six days what Republican governor could not convince a Republican president to do in four years of letter-writing, lawsuits and international embarrassment.

Anyway you slice this one we are going to be in deep trouble if we don't get on with becoming energy independent. Oil is finite. We are using oil globally at the rate of 2 X faster than new oil is being discovered. The high price of fuel the previous year has brought America to it's knees and done serious damage to our economy and society. Our nation better wake up and smell the coffee and realize oil is finite, it is running out faster than anyone realizes and it is time to get on with utilizing alternative sources of energy. We should never give others that much power over our economy. America's need to become energy independent seems to be realized by only a select few. Hopefully our new administration will move forward with this very important issue. I just read a really good book called The Manhattan Project of 2009 by Jeff Wilson.I highly recommend this book for anyone concerned about out economy and America's need to become more energy independent.

Keep hoping about Jackson (and get active). She herself is a political appointee!

Science and rule of law are slogans – not policy commitments.

You forgot to mention that Boxer chastised Jackson's non-committal answer on the California petition buy noting that Obama had pledged to issue it. Jackson merely said she would consider it. Huge difference.

NJ was a plaintiff in the lawsuit – if Jackson couldn't give a straight answer adn firm commitment to that issue…

The only tough questions Jackson faced came at the very end – after 3 hours and 20 minutes. All the mainstream press were not paying attention by then and missed how poor Jackson's record was in NJ. Go to the PEER website at http://www.peer.org for details on that.
