Jim Moran on Offshore Oil Drilling; Ken Cuccinelli as “Ideological Extremist”

In this video, Jim Moran explains very well the reasons why offshore oil drilling is a bad idea for Virginia. Among those reasons is that oil drilling would interfere with Navy operations. Later in the show, Moran commented on Ken Cuccinelli's assault on academic freedom. According to Moran, Cooch is an "ideological extremist" and his action against climate science at UVA is "pure harassment." In other comments, Moran argued that Virginia is "clearly...undertaxed" for our transportation needs, and that we really should have a higher gas tax devoted to transportation, particularly to public transportation. It's always an interesting show when Jim Moran's on! :)
