He was livid about the slow progress and politics being played with smart energy policy like the PTC. It wouldn't surprise me if he resigned out of frustration.

For those who know, kind of the Alan Greenspan of alternative energy. The reason he's so good is he understands business and the market. I only hope the next Admin's person is this intelligent and not some over the board hippie straight out of the European or Obama leftist playbook. Because we'll have lost a serious opportunity for change and replaced it with the same old narrow minded business versus the environment thinking.

"Perhaps Mr. Karsner wanted to get off the U.S.S. Bush before it took him down with it." Or perhaps he just wanted to line up a new job before January 20. Why is this surprising?

Let's get rid of ALL the subsidies and let the market work it out, okay? That's the only method proven to work.

There won't be any new technology, nor will their be anything sort term for him to claim as an enviornmental victory. Unfortunately everyone is so concerned about the short term, he may have decided to quit before he was told to leave.
