A Nobelist for Energy Secretary who gets both climate and energy efficiency?

No, I’m not talking Al Gore. The big buzz is about Dr. Steven Chu, the Nobel laureate director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

He would be a terrific choice for many reasons, as the Wonk Room has already noted, see Energy Secretary Contender Dr. Steven Chu: Transform The Energy Landscape To Save ‘A Beautiful Planet’.

And Chu definitely gets the urgent need to act on global warming. We were both speakers at an all-day symposium to honor California Energy Commissioner Art Rosenfeld on the occasion of Art's 80th birthday.

Click here if you want to see the video of his talk (he's in session three). You'll also see what is arguably the funniest talk I've ever given, if explaining how unlikely it is that we are going to avert catastrophic global warming can be funny.
