On his Green Hell blog, Steve Milloy details the climate profiteers on Obama’s EARB, beginning with Al Gore’s pals at Kleiner Perkins.

President Obama’s so-called Economic Recovery Advisory Board held its first quarterly meeting today — it was a spectacle of the sort of self-dealing and corruption that we may rightly to become routine if cap-and-trade legislation passes.
After the meeting, CNBC’s Becky Quick interviewed ERAB board member John Doerr, head of the venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins — that’s right, the very same Kleiner Perkins that has invested more than $1 billion in 40 cap-and-trade-dependent business ventures and that has Al Gore as a partner. . . .
[W]e have no reason to believe that Doerr wouldn’t say and do absolutely anything to help ram through cap-and-trade legislation that would enable his firm to steal billions of dollars from consumers and taxpayers through bogus Al Gore-endorsed “green technologies.”
If you’re thinking that Doerr is only one voice on the ERAB and that less-biased heads will prevail, think again. Here are the other ERAB members and their positions on cap-and-trade:
Austan Goolsbee as staff director and chief economist (Obama administration); William H. Donaldson, SEC Chair, 2003-05 (has spoken in support of climate legislation; Roger W. Ferguson, Jr., president and CEO, TIAA-CREF (TIAA-CREF promotes climate change legislation through shareholder activism and possibly stands to benefit from “green” investments); Robert Wolf, chairman and CEO, UBS (sells climate change-related financial products); David F. Swensen, CIO, Yale University (Yale supports climate change legislation); Mark T. Gallogly, founder and managing partner, Centerbridge Partners L.P. (early Obama supporter); Penny Pritzker, chairwoman, Pritzker Realty Group (Obama campaign finance chairman); Jeffrey R. Immelt, CEO, GE (parent company of NBC News) (lobbying for climate legislation through USCAP); John Doerr, partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers (lobbying for climate legislation through Al Gore); Jim Owens, chairman and CEO, Caterpillar Inc. (lobbying for climate change legislation through Al Gore); Monica C. Lozano, publisher & chief executive officer, La Opinion (her newspaper endorsed Obama); Charles E. Phillips, Jr., president, Oracle (wants to use Oracle technology to ration electricity to consumers through a “smart grid”); Anna Burger, chairwoman, Change to Win (union group that supports green jobs); Richard L. Trumka, secretary-treasurer, AFL-CIO (the union has joined with greens to lobby for climate legislation); Laura D’Andrea Tyson, dean, Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley (Obama supporter who has advocated climate change legislation); Martin Feldstein, professor of Economics, Harvard (opposes cap-and-trade)
So of the 16 members of Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, only one (Martin Feldstein) opposes cap-and-trade. At least six expect direct financial benefits from cap-and-trade. The remaining members are either Obama supporters or union representatives. Taxpayers, consumers and non-rent-seeking businesses have been left out in the cold.
