Newsweek - which apparently sees the Obama cabinet amounting to a lot of big names with little experience - is floating the idea that the president-elect might make Dan Reicher, Google's director of climate change and energy initiatives, energy secretary.

Reicher was assistant energy secretary during the Clinton administration, and given his subsequent résumé the magazine thinks "he would bring something unique: private-sector experience and a mindset not currently limited by the bounds of government."

It also says that at the Democratic National Convention, "an Obama strategist pointed toward Reicher and told a Newsweek reporter ‘Keep and eye on that guy, they've been talking about him a lot.'"
