Reply #38: The Energy boards question

[hollowdweller]

He could have said something like:

"Tim, I don't see anything wrong with my being on the boards of energy companies. Which would you rather have on a the boards? A career progressive public servant who believes in enviromental regulations and alternative energy like I do? Or somebody like Dick Cheney?

Listen Tim, the energy companies are not the enemy. They will be the ones to help us implement new alternative technologies. We don't need to demonize any industry. We all need to be working together not drawing lines. We need to have all the parties in the boat to move to the future, and if I was able to influence the thinking in that direction while I sat on those boards just a little it was worth it! So no I have no regrets"

Instead he just babbled about needing the income.
