Who Will Sit at Energy?

Google has achieved almost unheard of energy efficiency with their operations, but I wonder if their successful programs are the same as that needed at energy.

How about T. Boone Pickens? He definitely would bring knowledge and clout in the oil industry and is currently working on creating a national wind and solar industry, taking us past oil to renewable energy. If anyone can create a financially solid renewable renewable energy program, he is the man.

He already holds conferences with thousands attending working on plans to make renewable a reality. My only concern is putting him in a federal bureaucracy would slow him down.

Google executives? Could have got the Yahoo exec's at a discount price. Yahoo would probably pay someone to take them. Of course, it wouldn't be long before somone realized they don't know what they're doing.

I was excited about and followed T. Boone Pickens plan until I realized that you can only invest in his program if you have 5 million dollars. So what is the deal with that, a million plus followers encouraging politicians, begging for Boone, is the phrase I have come up with. If Boone was really interested in getting things accomplished, he would sell stock in the business he want us to beg for and raise capital and real participation.

Something not quite real about Mr. Boone's efforts.

Why is RFK Jr. on that list? He has my vote for EPA head. We already know that the so called free martket as drawn by the neocons and Reganites are really government run by business, ahd they trickled down misery, bankruptcy and mercury in or fish. RFK will hunt the bastards down.
