Chu takes energy efficiency message to ‘Extreme Makeover’
http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/677-e2-wire/80975-does-chu-takes-energy-efficiency-message-to-extreme-makeover

Steven Chu, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who heads the Energy Department, is also a budding TV star.

Chu will take his energy efficiency message to ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” on Sunday.


(snip)
Chu is a strong advocate of energy efficiency programs as a way to slow greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs.

The 2009 stimulus law steered billions of dollars into efficiency programs, including $5 billion for low-income home weatherization. Chu has also sped up the department’s appliance efficiency standards program and ramped up enforcement of the standards.

Like they say,
"When the People LEAD,
the leaders will follow"..
