Jim Walker remembers when nuclear energy-generated electricity was going to be too cheap to meter and when a law prevented the use of U.S. natural gas supplies for electricity generation.
Dr. James Walker, an energy advisor in the Nixon and Ford administrations, was appointed to the California Energy Commission during the first Brown gubernatorial tenure and helped pioneer the utility-scale wind industry.
Former CEO and current board vice chair of wind and solar giant enXco, he was president of the American Wind Energy Association and worked in the geothermal and energy-efficiency industries.
