Steven Chu is our new Energy Secretary according to MSNBC. What a relief! After all the conjecture, it is great to see an appointment going to someone who is not a career politician or corporate guy.
I really like this selection a lot. Chu has a background in Solar Energy. He is very bright, and brings with him a good group of people.
Steven Chu Bio
It's been fatiguing over my entire lifetime having only "insiders" running the agenda. (At least that's what it has felt like.) If Obama can bring about change with energy, it will be one of the most important, lasting achievements any president has accomplished.
And I think Chu will help him do it. I think it's possible now.
