Steven Chu Secretary of Energy is very impressive.
He's a Berkeley guy so it makes alot of sense. Tune into C-Spa right now.

1. I heard he's a shill for Big Science.
What with his peer review and pro-double blindness views.

5. Big Science?????
He was a Professor at Berkley and he in the basic research department at Bell Labs. That is as close to pure science for the sake of increasing what we know of how the world works as it gets.

9. and to think we could have had Sarah for energy
Seriously, she was the obvious choice. Obama would be seen as reaching across the aisle. And she can see the pipeline from her porch.

Instead, were stuck with some dumb scientist who probably even doesn't understand that His Almighty God in Heaven created earth in 6 days 6,000 years ago...
