“This is very good news from the Interior Department. Secretary Ken Salazar today announced that he intends to review the flawed offshore drilling policy of the Bush Administration – and allow the public to share their views.

Californians have long supported protecting our majestic coastline from the dangers of new offshore drilling and, if possible, I intend to testify on their behalf at the public hearing that will be held in my home state.

I look forward to turning the page on the false promise of new offshore drilling -- and instead focus on making the shift to a cleaner and greener energy policy.”
