No, Jeff, what's he seems to be talking about is the Pension Fund
boards, not corporate boards. Shareholders excising their rights has
nothing to do with "socializing the economy" and Peter is smart enough
to know this.

Peters tends to work on 'schemes'...plans...that address specific
problems. One of his energy schemes, which he's actually working on
independently of the GP campaign, is to get banks to finance grid
integrated photo voltailics (GIPV) as second mortgages for retrofitting
home owners (essentially the costs per month would equal an average
electrical bill, so there would be no short term or long term increase
of out-of-pocket expenses); require all new building of residential
homes to include in the cost of the home GIPV installation. He told me
once this would solve the energy crisis (he's learned since that this
is not so as only 17% of power usage is by home owners, but it's an
interesting scheme never-the-less).

I believe his tax scheme is something similar and as well worked out
but I haven't seen it.
