It was reported last week that President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team had sent the Department of Energy a list of 74 questions. In that list, the DOE was asked to provide names of employees who had worked on President Barack Obama’s climate change policy.

This action brought up concerns that the incoming POTUS and his administration may be looking to not only dismantle many of the actions Obama has set forth to study and combat climate change, but to also push out federal employees and contractors who had worked on those programs.

“Start at the top ... fire down the chain until you get to someone who wants to keep their job ... then you’ll get the list ...”

Wrong. Just fire EVERY ONE. No severance and no pension.

And if possible, criminal charges against those who refused to give up the names. They can spend some time in Leavenworth.

Jail the sobs! I am sick of this liberal crap. Scientist wanting to “dope” the atmosphere because of climate change. Scientists are in it for the GRANTS they get for their studies. Have these air heads ever thought of that. If they don’t come up with SOMETHING they get their grants taken away!!!! Simple to understand and I’m a deplorable!

DOE = ZERO ENERGY Produced

The biggest squander in U.S. History, nuclear Thorium reactor could have been built by now.

Bush, Clinton, Obams are all LOSERS!

There it is, a excellent reason to clean house - COMPLETELY!

It also proves they have something to hide.

This will work until Trump and his new Energy Department chief are sworn in. Then, “Hi I want a list of all the training and seminars you have been to in the past two years.” DOE employee, “No.” Secretary DOE, “Your fired!”
Imagine if you refused your employer’s request for routine information?

Dang! The post-inaugaration period at DOE is going to be like the Valentine Day massacre.

The country's popcorn reserves are going to sorely stressed.

“Maybe he can file a FOA on them.”

I’d put an “I” after the “O” in there, or a “D” at the end.

These are federal offices with high security.

The employee will need to be physically removed from the premises by security guards!
