George Clooney Chosen for Board of Clean Energy Company instead of Gore (interesting reason why).

The company, which will develop environmentally friendly techniques for car motors, batteries and other devices, is aimed at reducing CO2-emissions in energy consumption, Hayek said in an interview with daily Berner Zeitung.

Clooney will sit on the board alongside Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier and others, he said.

Clooney's spokesman Stan Rosenfield, in an e-mail to The Associated Press, confirmed the report.

"First I hesitated between Al Gore and Clooney," said Hayek. But he didn't chose Al Gore because it was still unclear whether he was running for presidency of the United States and therefore might have accepted the post as a mere public relations exercise, Hayek told the newspaper.
