During his confirmation hearing Tuesday, Rep. Ryan Zinke, a Republican from Montana, promised not to hand over federal land to state control when he takes on the role of secretary of the interior.

By standing firm against that one nightmare promise from the 2016 Republican platform, Zinke seems to have avoided the kind of fury Democrats have directed at President-elect Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency pick Scott Pruitt and his Energy Department nominee Rick Perry.

But although Zinke says he won’t hand federal land to states, he is likely to lease vast tracts to the oil, gas, and coal industries — and flip green the yellow light that Obama’s administration put on federal lands fossil fuel development.

Although Zinke repeatedly invoked Teddy Roosevelt on Tuesday, and promised to strike a balance between conservation and energy development, he also indicated he would support efforts to review or overturn a list of Obama administration rules including the ban on drilling in parts of the Alaskan Arctic, the moratorium on coal extraction on public land, new stream protections, and rules preventing methane flaring during oil and gas extraction.

Asked by Alaskan Sen. Lisa Murkowski, head of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, “Will you commit to a formal review of all of the Obama Administration’s actions that took resource-bearing lands and waters in Alaska effectively off the table?” Zinke replied, “Yes.”

Asked if he would support Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso’s efforts to use the Congressional Review Act to halt a newly passed Interior Department rule meant to limit oil and gas companies from venting and flaring methane, Zinke said, “Yes.” He also indicated he would not oppose use of the act to overturn a stream protection rule, which limits coal mining near water.
