The Still-Revolving Door

It’s just that she was so darned nice to them:
HOUSTON (MarketWatch) — Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA) Wednesday said it hired [former Interior Secretary] Gale Norton to serve as a counsel for the oil giant.
The move comes amid rising scrutiny on Capitol Hill of Norton’s former agency’s dealings with the oil industry.
Norton, who stepped down as interior secretary on March 31, will be based primarily out of Colorado, and will serve as general counsel for Shell’s unconventional resources division, Shell said.
How appropriate, as she was an unconventional resource for the energy industry all those years…
It would appear that she is going to be pushing “Oil Shale” landrape schemes.
“Colorado,” and Unconventional Oil” in the same sentence tells me that’s the case.
Look out Colorado, hate to see those beautiful Rocky Mountains go, and woe to those who rely on the Colorado River for their water.

I assumed she had been working for them all along…
