Steven Chu

I was pleasantly surprised a few days ago to learn that Obama went for a scientific, rather than a political appointment, for secretary of energy.

If you don't about know him, Steve Chu is a Nobel Prize winning physicist.

When I was at Berkeley, he was a professor at Stanford; soon after I left, he moved to Berkeley and became head of Lawrence Berkeley Lab. Everything I know about him says he'll do a terrific job as Sec of Energy. Kudos to Obama!
