You know organisations, big plans, fail when the leadership is weak. It's tragic when people get promoted beyond their ability or the ability of their ego to contain it all. Then the hangers on smell the carrion.
I'd rather take a quiet role as advisor than the captain of the ship. Technical knowhow and business don't often mix. Yeah, the Ivy Leaguers don't know everything but I'd sooner have an Ivy Leaguer directing it all, peer reviewing, running the whole show, patrician and patronising as they may be, than submit to the Searls, Steorns, The Meyers, Mills(?), The Millers(he's a UK phenomenon nipped in the bud), Newmans, Enrons, Bear Sterns of this world than the totally-gone laissez-faire alternative. Jed gave this a few weeks ago. http://newdeal.feri.org/speeches/1932d.htm http://www.hpol.org/fdr/inaug/ We need that kind of vision and integrity at the top allied with the private sector for new energy.
