Browner to be Obama's anti energy czar?

Politico:

Former Clinton Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Carol Browner is expected to be named chief of energy and environmental issues in the new Obama White House, according to a published report.

The announcement, along with other top jobs at the Energy and Interior departments, could come as early as this week.

A spokesman for the Obama transition team said Wednesday he was unable to confirm or deny the Browner appointment.

Browner, who’s heading the transition team’s environmental division, has been reported by sources within the environmental community to be on the short list for the new White House post for several weeks, and The Washington Post reported Wednesday that she had likely landed the job.

President-elect Barack Obama is expected to create what is sometimes called an “energy czar” to coordinate energy and environmental policy among the myriad federal agencies and lead a new National Energy Council.

...
I think Browner is part of the anti energy left that has been working to strangle energy production in the US. To put her in charge of energy suggest Obama is not serious about real energy production, but will rely on magic energy created from the vaporware by the environmental wacko movement.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
