1. I heard he's a shill for Big Science.
 What with his peer review and pro-double blindness views.

3. I'm not sure. The people at U.C. Berkeley are pretty high on him.

CHU JUMPS IN 'DEEP END OF THE POOL'

Energy Secretary Steven Chu may be a Nobel laureate Ph.D. in physics, but his first forays into energy policy suggest he's a neophyte when it comes to the ways of Washington.
 
At a forum with reporters on Thursday, the head of the department that has traditionally taken the lead on global oil-market policy, was asked what message the Obama administration had for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries at its meeting next month.
 
"I'm not the administration," the Cabinet secretary replied. "I will be speaking and learning more about this in order to figure out what the U.S. position should be and what the president's position is."
 
Chu, who is still without a deputy, said he feels "like I've been dumped into the deep end of the pool" on oil policy.
 
The day before, reporters asked him about OPEC output levels after a speech to a group of utility regulators. He responded that the issue was "not in my domain."
 
Later, in a conference call to reporters, he said his answer reflected "more of my naiveté than anything else."

He would have to really work at it to do as much damage as DOD's Dr. Chu, a throwback to McNamara-style number-crunch management.

At least he had the humility and honesty to say 'I don't know' unlike certain other members of Obama's administration.

It's just failure after failure of the Big Zero's administration.  It's almost like 0bama is doing a version of Mel Brook's The Producers.
