Spitzer (NY-D) On Energy

The Oil Drum NYC – Eliot Spitzer is way up in the polls for the Democratic nomination for Governor – he now leads Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi by 63 percentage points. And with the Republicans divided between Weld and Faso, with Faso now likely to run an insurgent Conservative Party run if he doesn’t get the GOP nod, Spitzer looks likely to win in a walk in November.

That means his stance on energy, environmental and transportation issues will be very important to all New Yorkers. The Governor controls many of the state authorities like the MTA, Tri-boro bridge authority, the NY half of the Port Authority and controls a massive $100 Billion state budget. In some recent speeches, he has started to stake out his policy positions on some very important issues that TODers often talk about.
