I’ll forgive you for ignoring me based on my track record to date on sharing DC media gossip about new cabinet picks (see Carter, Ashton). But for what it’s worth, Reuters now says Ernie Moniz, former Clinton Administration undersecretary, has moved to the top of the list:
President Barack Obama is considering naming nuclear physicist Ernest Moniz, one of his science and energy advisers, as the next energy secretary, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.
Moniz, who was undersecretary at the Energy Department during the Clinton administration, is a familiar figure on Capitol Hill, where he has often talked to lawmakers about how abundant supplies of U.S. natural gas will gradually replace coal as a source of electricity.
