Drill, baby, drill.
Republicans have appointed Washington's Doc Hastings as chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee. That will make Hastings a key voice shaping federal policies on oil and gas drilling on public lands and offshore waters, mining, wildlife, fisheries, national parks and Native American affairs.
In 2009 Hastings received a score of zero from the League of Conservation Voters and has a lifetime rating of 96 from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
