Stephen Chu - Alliance for Saving Energy


Yesterday, we attended a side event and reception in town, by the rather interestingly-named Alliance for Saving Energy. Some interesting presentations, mainly focussed on the US, but also concerning energy efficiency in China etc, leveraging some of the "Kyoto" mechanisms. The reception was very pleasant, and featured Dr Stephen Chu, the US Secretary for the Environment. (He won the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics, and is a known practitioner of common sense.) He was very inspiring - genuine, realistic, visionary and so on. He had good things to say about the efforts the US has planned to dramatically improved US energy efficiency.
