Interior Nominee Not Saying If She Will Advise Biden To Extend Moratorium on Oil, Gas Leases

‘We need to care as much about the environment as we do about the fossil fuel infrastructure in your state and other states’

EXCERPT:

HAALAND: "Thank you, ranking member, I appreciate the question. And yes, I will reiterate again, President Biden's agenda would be my agenda if I am confirmed. I recognize that the roles are different, the role of a congresswoman in one district in the country is much different than the role of a secretary who is fighting and working for every single American in all of our public lands across the country. Those are two different things, I recognize that. I want to make sure that if I am confirmed that we're looking at things and working to strike the right balance. We need to care as much about the environment as we do about the fossil fuel infrastructure in your state and other states. We need to balance those priorities.”
