He Fits

Seems like a clean coal and nuke guy to me.

Here's his Impress presentation on Clean Coal from 2007:

Click over and watch Romm's talk

It's entertaining. And scary as hell.

Non-conformity more than skin-deep

It is very good to see a scientist with the courage to disdain the fashion for fabricated facial baldness so promoted,
when so many, even among supposedly free-thinking environmentalists, are subdued into the conformity of the daily ritual farce of shaving.

Beard

LOL, Billhook! Ah, the merits of a woolly beard. Maybe it can scrub some CO2 from the atmosphere itself.
No, seriously though, I'm looking forward to Dr. Holdren's appointment as Science Adviser. (And his picture on Wikipedia isn't nearly as scary.)
