How about this peach of an interview with Climate Czarina Carol Browner?

First consider the following exchange, addressing the difference now after her eight-year hiatus from government, during which the atmosphere cooled:

How much have attitudes shifted on climate change? I think, first of all, that the science has just become incredibly clear — that the impacts are real, they will be real, and that we need to do something.

But she also wows us with more of that alarmist (and until-recently board member of Team Soros’ Center for American Progress) candor:

“We need to make sure that we’re really moving electricity in the smartest way and using the most cost-effective electricity at the right time of day. Eventually, we can get to a system where an electric company will be able to hold back some of the power so that maybe your air conditioner won’t operate at its peak, you’ll still be able to cool your house, but that’ll be a savings to the consumer.”

Ah yes. The “we” who needs to do this is the state. They, in close consultation with (that is, by bossing around) your utility company, will determine precisely where you’d really like the thermostat in your home. And you might consider a thank you note for their having saved you money. They know what’s best for you.

Joe Q. Public: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Joe, I read you.
Joe Q. Public: Open the vents, HAL.
HAL: I’m sorry Joe, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
Joe Q. Public: What’s the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Joe Q. Public: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

Besides that notorious refusal by one of her lucrative perches, — the secretive Albright Group — to reveal on whose behalf it was massaging the levers of power, I just can’t imagine why Ms. Browner had a position created for her that ensured she would not experience Senate scrutiny.
