Watch the Chu Confirmation Hearing
January 13th, 2009Posted by: admin
Today the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee held its confirmation hearing for Dr. Steven Chu as Secretary of Energy. There is an archived webcast currently online (the hearing actually starts around the 15 minute mark, and runs roughly 2 hours and 14 minutes from that point). The same committee has a confirmation hearing scheduled Thursday for Ken Salazar as Secretary of the Interior.
I have not watched the Chu hearing, and Dr. Chu’s nomination is not considered problematic. What coverage I have seen on the hearing is one article from The Washington Post indicating that Dr. Chu carefully navigated through questions about climate change and alternative energy.
