It's hardly biased to note that a bunch of buds from the energy biz, consciously or not, would have a shared POV on what direction our energy policy should take.

Seems like you haven't been in many meetings. If you go to any industry forum, where competitors gather to discuss industry policy or try to propose and adopt standards, each participant brings a self-serving pov to the table. The ITU is a perfect example. Takes years for telecom standards and policy initiatives to be debated and ratified.

The CEOs in "big energy" are competitors. Each thinks he knows what the administration's energy policy should be, the policy that benefits his company over the others. Do they have some shared interests too? Of course, but I suspect they are a lot of the same interests that we as consumers have. I'm sorry to differ with the conspiracy theorists here, but I give this administration credit for seeking out opinion from "big" energy, little energy, consumer groups, and environmental groups before formulating a long-overdue energy policy.
