So you think that Steve Westly is an "empty suit"?? Putting aside the fact that Mr. Westly has been a leading environmentalist for more than 30 years, Steve Westly has personally committed his OWN fortune to helping grow inventive, clean, and climate-solving companies. You should also know George, Steve Westly has selflessly devoted himself to both public service as well as "world-class" environmental activism ... all the while, so many in the private sector have only succeeded in damaging OUR planet whilst greedily pursuing their OWN shamefull ill gotten gains. If that isn't enough, Steve Westly and his wife Anita are generous donors who regularly support an array of critical charitable organizations i.e. The Steve and Anita Westly Foundation (maybe your own children have been treated at the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital George - if not, please know that thousands of our kids have). The Westlys never self promote - it's not their way nor is it necessary. Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting this family knows that they are truly exemplary. I only wish that more people in government and the private sector would conduct themselves like Steve and Anita Westly -- if so, California and our Nation wouldn't be suffering in it's current sorry state. Ok George, you’ve had your say.

We have developed a core technology that is being applied to both the solar cell and the high efficient, mercury free lighting industries. Is the Westly group going?
