12/11 Can we get some insightful thoughts on Chu's nomination? Plenty of
people here work(ed) at LBNL at some point.
\_ he's clearly smart, and seems pretty well-respected as an
administrator. Only question I'd have is whether he's
too enamored of technology, i.e., the BP grant is basically
genetic engineering to make biofuel more feasible, which has
the potential to cause as many problems as it solves. All the
low-hanging fruit is in conservation. -tom
\_ Chu was a dinner with a friend of mine and at the end of the
meal he said "are you going to eat that" and after she said
"no" he took her plate and ate the rest of her dinner. So he
clearly believes in conservation.
\_ A friend of mine was at dinner with Chu ... at the end of
dinner he asked "are you going to finish that?" and then
grabbed her plate and shoveled the leftovers on to his own
and ate it up. So clearly he believes in conservation.
\_ A friend of mine was at restaurant dinner with Chu. At the
end of the meal he asked her "are you going to finish that?"
and then took her plate and shovelled the rest of the food
on to his plate and finished it. So we know he believes in
conservation.
\_ Is he a spy from CHINA? |
