President Obama announced on March 27 that he would nominate Cathy Zoi to become Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the Department of Energy.
Zoi is a Gore-bot of the first order.
In January 2007, she became the Alliance for Climate Protection’s founding CEO. The Alliance is Al Gore’s non-profit front for advancing his personal wealth-building agenda. He is a foudning partner in the UK-based investment company, Generation Investment Management, and a partner with the U.S. based ventuire capital firm of Kleiner Perkins.
Beyond buffalo-ing America about global warming, Zoi’s has a passion for smart-metering — that is, enabling local utilities to ration your electricity.
Zoi was the chief of staff in the White House Office on Environmental Policy in the Clinton-Gore administration, where she managed the team working on environmental and energy issues (1993-95). She was also a manager at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency where she pioneered the Energy Star Program.
In a March 30 op-ed in Roll Call, Zoi wrote,
We stand at the verge of a major opportunity for leadership that can take our economy in a new direction…
I guess that means what wealth doesn’t go down the toilet will go into Al Gore’s pockets.
If they come to my home to install a smart meter, I will sic my dogs on them!
It might also mean that the $300MM ACP effort Ms. Zoi so “capably” leads for Algore is about to swirl down the toilet (preferably flushless).
