A VIP Viewer


Day One of the National Energy Summit. The Council on Competitiveness is the host. The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC is the site. We're broadcasting the entire two-day event live and I'm hosting our coverage.

The man to my left in the above pic is Dr. John Holdren. Officially, he's Special Advisor to The President on Science and Technology and Director of the White House Office on Science and Technology Policy. Unofficially, he's probably the most controversial member of the Obama Green Team. Obviously, I'm pretty amped for this interview.

As we're getting situated for the shoot, I'm running through the details with Dr. Holdren, explaining that our viewers are especially well-versed in energy and climate issues. He stops me mid-sentence and says, "I know. I'm one of them."

Yes. Dr. John Holdren, the man who has the President's ear on Sci & Tech issues is a Clean Skies News viewer. Validation is sweet.
