Donald Trump’s transition team wants the Energy Department to provide the names of any employees who have worked on President Barack Obama’s climate initiatives — a request that has current and former staffers fearing an oncoming “witch hunt.”

The president-elect’s team sought the information as part of a 74-point questionnaire that also asked for details about how DOE’s statistical arm, the Energy Information Administration, does the math on issues such as the cost-effectiveness of wind and solar power versus fossil fuels. POLITICO obtained the document Friday, after Trump’s advisers sent it to the department earlier in the week.

Who else but witches could conjure up the spell that holds people in thrall to Global Warming? Who else but witches could do the voodoo economics that show the nation benefits by tearing down perfectly good power plants and replacing them with unreliable windmills?

Yes, the DOE must be full of witches. I hope Trump is serious and also goes after the wizards and warlocks there as well.

I read a good analysis today that posited you need somebody skilled at reorganizing big enterprises, getting the company on a single mission, and knows how to “right-size” an organization. ExxonMobil has about 90k people — State is 1/3 of that. I think he would,be brilliant at State.

This is about political appointees, contractors and consultants hired into the bureaucracy during Obama’s tenure. That’s my guess.

I think the bureaucracy is going to experience severe culture shock and the sh*t is going to roll down hill fall.

This is not a witch hunt. It’s called draining the swamp.

Is “witch hunt” supposed to be “bitch hunt”? Seems more accurate.

I think it is a great idea.

If the dear folks at Energy, do not respond, lie or lie by omission, then there is a reason to fire them for cause.

While they are at it, ask for the 2nd set of books for the audit coming to these agencies.

I did a job to help site a bunch of solar panels at a gov’t site. It was to help power their new fleet of electric cars. All done with the vapor plume of a 1200 mega-watt nuke plant in the background!

any employees who have worked on President Barack Obama’s climate initiatives should be drawn and quartered.
Either that or keel hauled.
