Let's pick things up with two specific appointments by President - elect Obama which have implications for U.S. - China energy relations — one being the 1997 Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Steve Chu of Lawrence Berkeley Labs (LBL) as the new Secretary of Energy, and the other being Dr. John Holdren, physicist and energy technology policy professor at Harvard and Director of the Woods
Hole Research Center (whom yours truly had the pleasure of
meeting in the copy room as a policy intern there way back in 2003) as the
White House science & technology adviser.
