size="-1"> -- Ken Salazar has previously claimed "<b>there's not a
single case where hydraulic fracking has created an
environmental problem for anyone</b>." Salazar, whose career
includes positions both in government and corporate Washington,
D.C. firms, has previously pushed for projects that are reviled
among environmental activists, such as fracking, the Trans Pacific
Partnership (TPP), and the Keystone XL pipeline....Just a year
ago, Clinton and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) penned an op-ed for
the Huffington Post decrying the cyclical nature of Capitol Hill
institutions that enable lawmakers and lobbyists to jump in and
out of the private and public sectors....Salazar is not a
registered lobbyist but he appears to fit the description of the
kind of powerbroker that Clinton has criticized...."<b>Personnel
is policy,</b>"</font><br>

Agreement on Climate Rules</span></a></b></font>
<div class="esc-lead-article-source-wrapper"><font size="-1">New
York Times With most of President Obama's efforts to combat
climate change tied up in litigation, it is heartening, if not
downright astonishing, to see an industry targeted by an
aggressive rule to reduce greenhouse gases welcoming that
rule....the trucking industry’s thumbs up — a rare departure
from the legal blitzkrieg that has greeted most of the
administration’s other efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.
Industry groups and 27 states have joined in a lawsuit against
an important new rule that would limit carbon dioxide emissions
from coal-fired power plants; oil and gas interests, with 15
states, have filed suits against a rule that would reduce
emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, from oil and
natural gas operations...In this case, industry looked beyond
the technological hurdles and saw benefits, the main one being
that the $12,000 per vehicle cost of upgrading the fleet would
be more than outweighed by projected fuel savings of $170
billion over 10 to 12 years. And executives knew it was long
past time to upgrade a category of vehicles that average a
minuscule six miles a gallon.<br>
