Last week, Chet Henry got on to a story about the president of the Solar Energy Industries Association and his....generous compensation package. Now independent media consultant Peter Allen weighs in with the appropriate anger.
The money quote:
In all seriousness, this is what tends to undermine progressive efforts to improve the quality of life in our country. We love to unite behind a great idea. But when the idea starts to grow legs and the potential for big pay days, well-dressed and well-oiled consultants and mid-level managers swoop in to scoop up big retainers and bloated contracts, and the endgame gets lost in a tsunami of strategy memos and meetings.
You owe it to yourself to read the whole thing.
And if you're interested in renewable energy and are not checking CleanTechnica daily, well, then I can't help you. ;-)
