ANOTHER fossil fuel Stalking Horse placed in a key position to FAVOR fossil fuel when handing out we-the-people's money.  >:(

How do I know? This fine fellow was instrumental in the destruction of incentives for Renewable Energy in the 1980's. He's back! Along with the MANIPULATED massive drop in the price of crude oil, every aspect of the fossil fuel industry's "policy" in the 1980's to strangle Renewable Energy is now in place.

I don't think this skullduggery will work this time because the raison d'etre for Renewable Energy is mainly that it is sustainable, not whether it appears to cost more up front. But that doesn't mean the fossil fuel dinosaurs won't give it the old college try; they have a century of 'crime pays' success behind them in buying politicians to fleece us in order for them to continue their irrational and suicidal greedfest of profit over the planet. 

What you need to KNOW about Hezir:

QUOTE
In 1979, he became a senior budget examiner for energy technology
programs. In 1982, he joined the Corporate Planning Department of Exxon Research and Engineering Company, responsible for the development of technology forecasts used in corporate business plans. 

After returning to OMB in 1983, Mr. Hezir was chief of the Non-Nuclear Energy Branch,
responsible for energy technology R&D, conservation, and energy regulatory programs.
From 1986 to 1992, he served as the OMB Deputy Associate Director for Energy and
Science, managing a 25 person division with responsibility for budgetary, regulatory,
legislative, and policy development activities of the Department of Energy, National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, the Tennessee
Valley Authority, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Smithsonian Institution.

He also represented OMB in developing government-wide science and technology policy
initiatives.

Mr. Hezir received the President’s Outstanding Federal Executive Award in
1989.
UNQUOTE

President Bush gave him that award...

Now for the BOILERPLATE press release that makes him appear to be pro renewable energy because of some MIT work on the "Future of Solar Energy". Right. Mr. Hezir wants to make SURE the money for solar energy technology is in the future, not the present.

Joseph Hezir Confirmed as Chief Financial Officer

WASHINGTON – Joseph Hezir was confirmed by the Senate on December 4, 2014 as the Department of Energy’s Chief Financial Officer.

“Joe’s experience in the energy, environmental and budgetary realms and his strategic approach to challenges make him a great fit as Chief Financial Officer for the agency,” said Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. “I look forward to working with him as CFO and I thank the Senate for approving his nomination.”

As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Hezir will work to assure the effective management and financial integrity of Department of Energy. He will help to implement and monitor Department-wide policies and systems in the areas of budget administration, program analysis and evaluation, finance and accounting, internal controls, corporate financial systems, and strategic planning.

Prior to joining the Department of Energy, Mr. Hezir worked as a Research Engineer and Executive Director of The Future of Solar Energy Study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Energy Initiative. He was the Vice President and Managing Partner of EOP Group, Inc. and Executive Vice President of EOP Education, LLC and EOP Foundation, Inc.  Mr. Hezir also held various roles at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Exxon Research and Engineering Company, the President’s Reorganization Project, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and was an advisor to a number of public policy and public service organizations.

Mr. Hezir co-authored two books about government budget and regulation published by the EOP Foundation: Understanding the Budget of the United States Government and Understanding the Regulatory Policy of the United States Government. He also received the President’s Outstanding Federal Executive Award in 1989. Mr. Hezir attended Carnegie Mellon University, where he received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and an M.S. from the Heinz School of Public Policy.
UNQUOTE

I urge the editors of Renewable Energy World to watch carefully the allocation of government funds for energy technology that, as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Hezir will initiate. I am certain his agenda is to preserve the welfare queen fossil fuel favoring status quo.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matt 10:37
