What a FRIGGING joke. Doesn't it strike anyone as funny that over half the low carbon "advisory panel" comes from the oil and gas industry???
Typical disgusting special interests.
Let's let Wall Street decide what rules they need to follow as well!!!
And let's let Boeing and Lockheed and GE decide our military budget!!!
And let's let ConAgra decide our ethanol subsidies!!!
Yeah, this is just a great way to run a country. We're too stupid to last much longer before this whole house of cards collapses on itself from this garbage. But hey, until then....a few really, REALLY rich people will get even richer. Enjoy folks.

Well, NRDC and Nature Conservancy are also on the panel along with some biotech and biofuel reps. Not a terrible mix of people. You've got to get the cooperation of oil and gas if there is to be any movement forward.
Now, if we put Ben and Jerry in charge of Michelle Obama's obesity project - I'd be concerned.
