Sigh... Reporting like this is why traditional media is dying a not-so-slow death. It's big on policy because it's a policy panel. The engineering panel was formed separately and includes several high-profile scientists / engineers, including: Jonathan Katz - astrophysics professor at Washington University Richard Garwin - IBM Fellow Emeritus, helped develop the original hydrogen bomb George Cooper - civil engineering emeritus prof at UC Berkeley Alexander Slocum - mechanical engineering prof at MIT Tom Hunter - president of Sandia Laboratories These are some freaking smart people. Let them work on solving the problem without having to deal with all of the politics.
