FRIEND IN HIGH PLACES: Another administration official kowtowing to fossil-fuel industry Mike Smith, the new assistant secretary for fossil fuels at the U.S. Department of Energy, didn't take office until Monday, but he has already told where his loyalties will lie. In a speech to the Independent Oil and Gas Association last week in Charleston, W.Va., he said that he would "work to ensure that the oil, natural gas and coal industry's interests are heeded in Washington," the Charleston Gazette reported. "The biggest challenge is going to be how to best utilize taxpayer dollars to the benefit of industry, in my opinion," Smith said.
