Just yesterday (March 3), Interior Secretary Ken Salazar again reiterated his concerns for drilling off Virginia’s coast in 2011. For E&E Daily (only available online with subscription):

The offshore proposal will also address whether to move forward with a lease sale planned for 2011 off Virginia, Salazar said. He added that gathering more information about resources off the Atlantic Coast “is important to do because we have no recent information — it’s 30 years old, and it’s very hard to make decisions without having that information.”

He also said yesterday he would unveil a comprehensive offshore oil and gas drilling plan by the end of this month.
