At the time of his appointment as Energy Secretary, he was a professor of physics and molecular and cellular biology at the

and the director of the
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
, where his research was concerned primarily with the study of biological systems at the
single molecule level
.

Previously, he had been a professor of physics at
Stanford University
. He is a vocal advocate for more research into
renewable energy
and
nuclear power
, arguing that a shift away from
fossil fuels
is essential to combating

For example, he has conceived of a global "glucose economy", a form of a
low-carbon economy
, in which
glucose
from tropical plants is shipped around like
oil
is today.

A GOAT WOULD BE BETTER FITTED TO THE POSITION.....
NOT THAT WE NEED AN "ENERGY SECRETARY".
