		SPENCER ABRAHAM: Well, what we now have discovered, based on several months of analysis by hundreds of investigators is that in the state of Ohio, First Energy Company, which operates a portion of that grid, had a number of major transmission lines go out of service because trees conflicted with the lines in some fashion.
		SPENCER ABRAHAM: Well, the Midwest Independent Systems Operator has a responsibility under the existing reliability standards to work with the various units, the control offices in their region, to also diagnose problems and alert people if they see instability in the grid.
		SPENCER ABRAHAM: Well, the responsibility for maintaining a reliable transmission grid is one that's shared by an awful lot of players who have a role in the grid: Companies that either generate and transmit energy or just play the role of being the transmission systems or monitoring them.

		Many of the long-running problems that confronted the nation when Abraham became secretary continued to receive his attention during his four years in office: the development and production of nuclear weapons, nuclear non proliferation, the disposal of nuclear waste, the role and function of the national laboratories, and constrained funding for scientific research.

	Schlussel: Spencer Abraham: Bush’s Dangerous Energy Secretary
		Abraham routinely caved to the demands of Arab/Muslim leaders, such as the Arab American Institute's James Zogby, on national security matters, especially immigration.
		Abraham and Knollenberg were repaid for their efforts, receiving thousands in campaign contributions from Nijad Fares, the Houston-based greencard-holding son of Syrian-backed Lebanese Deputy Prime Minister Issam Fares.
		Given Spencer Abraham’s record of kowtowing to Arab, Muslim, and foreign interests on virtually every national security issue, his hegemony at Energy is disturbing.

	Abraham departing without ever getting energy policy approved by Congress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Abraham predicted that with the Republican gains in the Senate "needed energy legislation will finally be enacted" by the new Congress that convenes in January.
		Abraham faced a number of major issues during his tenure, from the nation's worst power flout to soaring crude oil and gasoline prices as well as a growing urgency to find a place to bury the country's nuclear waste and yet another security flap at the Los Alamos weapons laboratory in New Mexico.
		But Abraham was unable to convince Congress to adopt a broad energy plan, although he said in his letter Monday that 90 percent of the recommendations issued by Vice President Dick Cheney's 2001 energy task force -- those that didn't need legislation -- had been implemented.

	Jeffrey St. Clair: A Year in the Life of Spencer Abraham
		Abraham was trounced in his 2000 senate reelection bid and, rightfully thinking that his prospects for employment in the private sector might be bleak, he faxed his frail resumé (highlighting his stint as part of Dan Quayle's brain trust) to the Bush transition team--meaning, as in all other matters of import, Dick Cheney.
		After six years in the senate, you'd have thought that Abraham would have at least learned to check these kinds of vote swaps over with Trent Lott first and not simply take the word of Murkowski, who is deranged on the subject of oil drilling in the Arctic.
		Abraham himself met with more than 100 representatives from the energy industry and trade associations from late January to May 17, 2001, when the task force released its report.

	Friends of the Earth
		As a United States Senator for the state of Michigan, Spencer Abraham has a record of defending polluting, resource extractive energy sources over renewable energy.
		In addition, Senator Abraham voted to legalize unlimited mine waste dumping on public lands by eliminating the "millsite claim" provision from the Mining Law of 1872 (Roll Call Vote No. 223 July 27, 1999).
		Given Senator Abraham's position on renewable energy and his unfettered defense of resource extractive industries, ratifying his nomination as Secretary of United States Department of Energy would be a grave mistake for the direction of our nation's energy policy.
