I think we have gone berserk with allegations of conflict of interest.

I agree with that, as with allegations of sexual improprieties.

For example, in the energy plan worked out by the Administration, was there one thing that would not have been more or less expected, given the Administration's nature? I have seen nothing.

I haven't either. It looks exactly like a plan that was developed by a bunch of current and former energy executives. There's no reason to expect that a former energy executive, once he became President, might consider the perspectives of non-energy-executive-Americans, the interests of the country at large, in developing the plan. Or at least feel a need to explain to the public why the interests of energy executives coincide with our own. Nor is there any reason to expect that the participants might find shame in that in the absence of actual bribery. There's no reason at all to expect statesmanship from our leadership.

P.S. BTW and FWIW, the Pres gave a nice speech on faith at today's prayer breakfast.
