My plea for sympathy

Before

• Global warming was not considered in any decision about energy policy

• Money was the primary consideration in setting energy policy

• There was no energy policy

Now…• The squeaky voiced

environmentalists sitting

in the cold and dark before….

• …are now

Steven ChuSecretary of Energy

Now all decisions

What changed…• Used to be military-industrial

complex • Negative connotations • Probably still exists

Perfect alignment of interests

Congress

Agencies

Companies

• Wall Street Journal coined the name•

Environmentalists• You • $$$$

Now it’s the climate-industrial Complex

Along comes AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act• Reduce dependence on foreign oil• Get the economy moving • Create jobs• Reduce carbon emissions• Build Smart Grid• Go green• Create new industries
