If you missed Tuesday night’s episode of The Daily Show, you did not get to see John Stewart and guest Steven Chu (Obama’s Nobel Prize winning Secretary of Energy) discuss the Waxman-Markey climate bill and America’s energy future. For those who missed it here are some highlights:

I couldn’t agree more with point made by Jon Stewart in the first clip. The best intentions of the original bill were radically altered to accommodate the financial interests of big energy corporations. This highlights the need to strengthen the bill in the Senate. I also enjoyed Jon Stewart’s discussion of global warming denial with Secretary Chu. Its amazing how misinformed our population can be, and unfortunately this includes many of our Representatives in Congress.

I agree with your observation. Jon Stewart is adept at taking most subjects that have been needlessly convoluted with flowery utterances by politicians and breaking them down into understandable language.
Not to get off topic, but, it also seemed to me that for a political appointee, Secretary Chu had an awful lot of the proverbial blood flowing through his veins.
