Alaska Drilling, Energy Policy to Clear Senate – Abraham

A bigger Republican majority in the Senate is likely to pass a national energy plan and back drilling in an Alaskan wildlife refuge to open up energy sources at home, the outgoing US Energy Secretary said on Tuesday.

“With the new composition of the Senate I believe it is feasible and likely that both ANWR and an energy policy will be passed,” Spencer Abraham told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting with Russia’s top nuclear official.
