re: #495 Dark_Falcon

It’s his tone that bothers me the most. He comes across as an arrogant know-it-all. I think that Chu’s remarks will fall flat and that he’ll become a poster boy for the arrogant left’s inability to conceal its disdain for normal Americans. This is the same meme as Obama’s “bitterly clinging to their guns and religion” remarks last year.

Steven Chu: Americans Are Like ‘Teenage Kids’ When It Comes to Energy

Speaking on the sidelines of a smart grid conference in Washington, Dr. Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

“The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.” (In that case, the Energy Department has a few renegade teens of its own.)

Is that what you were referring to?
