The Entire D6 Interview With News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch (5 of 6)

Kara Swisher — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:42:59 +0000

[We're posting all the interviews from the sixth D: All Things Digital conference that took place in late May.

Unfortunately, due to issues too complicated to go into, we have to post all the D6 interviews in several 15-minute parts (I know, I know).

But--as many readers have requested--they will all be available in their entirety over the next two weeks in this column.]

Here’s Part 5 of 6 of our interview with Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corp. (NWS) (owner of this site and the conference), conducted by me and Walt Mossberg, in which he talks about the economy (uh-oh!), energy, the need for digitization and some egregious Alaskan-elk-bashing.

With yesterday’s lofty (some would say overly windy) announcement from Google that it is going to invest a bundle to try to make clean energy cheaper than coal use, we thought it was the perfect time to post this very funny video about a trio of roomies battling over how to go green, with one named Green turning into the Norman Bates of energy efficiency.

(It’s written and directed by Clea DuVall, whom you might have seen as an FBI agent on “Heroes,” who stars in it with Leisha Hailey of “The L Word” and Carla Gallo.)

My favorite line from Green about not contributing to paying the electric bill, which Larry Page might have said to Sergey Brin: “Oh, yeah, I’m not going to be able to cover your mass consumption of energy.”

Please see this disclosure related to me and Google.
