I heard a NPR report about Afghanistan-they said the US High Command was proposing a new position (“Intelligence Czar”). Which got me to thinking-we haven’t heard of the energy czar in some time…anybody know ho he/she is? How doe you apply for the job?
Off to GQ from MPSIMS.
There was only an “energy czar” for a short time, during the Ford and Carter administrations. William Simon was the most prominent one.
Once Carter established an Energy Department and a Secretary of Energy, the “czar” became obsolete.
