On the Ground in Copenhagen: Interior Secretary Salazar
Posted by Jake Levine on December 10, 2009 at 12:00 PM EST

We just caught up with Interior Secretary Ken Salazar as he was getting ready to headline today's keynote event at the U.S. Center in Copenhagen. The Secretary has had a packed schedule since he arrived in Copenhagen -- including his first tour of an offshore wind facility, which, he said, was an incredible educational experience and will inform his thinking as he initiates programs to begin standing up renewable energy operations on our public lands and off our public waters.

We asked Secretary Salazar to share some main thoughts about the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen and his speech at the U.S. Center. Here it is:

7. I thought he was going on the last day of the Conference, on his way back from Oslo...

and I heard a while ago that he will be going to Copenhagen next week. So he'll be going from here.
