The Energy Department said Tuesday it won't provide the names of staffers who worked on climate policy or other issues to President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, even as it pledges to cooperate with the incoming administration.

Well, let's just suppose that what was presented or learned by them at some of these conferences might be actual science that could be of use to study, with an open mind, the case for and against man-made climate change. And someone in the management doesn't want to disclose who those experts are?
It kind of makes the case that they themselves don't believe in the science, as science is based on provable facts, not opinion.
The refusal also brings attention to it more than if they had just complied. A cop pulls you over, which he has a right to do, and asks where you were going. Instead of answering, you refuse to disclose your purpose and destination. That ain't gonna go so well for you...
And, the leaders need to have pay and pensions frozen during the investigation, which could take years!!
So, instead of replacing the warmists on day one, it’ll take a few months longer to ID and remove them.
You, Sir, are a professional hatchet man! :-)
That is why they wanted the information for the transition team. To speed the process. But the ComDems know what is coming.
Or transferred to highly undesirable locations or duties.
The Constitution gives the feds no authority over "energy." Energy is a states' issue.
Death by Bureaucrap.
So now that we're in charge we no longer object to unelected, unaccountable "Czars"?
agree
Sounds good, but I would never let them resign. The time for FIRING is all Trump’s!! And we are awaiting that moment, over and over!!
It puts them on notice right now that the information better be there when he takes office. If there is a HDD failure, there will be even MORE hell to pay. The agency should be backing data anyway, and it better be there.
What’s with the oompa loompa hair???
“And, the leaders need to have pay and pensions frozen during the investigation, which could take years!!”
As bad as that prospect is, it will be cheap by comparison with not getting them started toward the door. We’re talking millions versus billions.
“So now that we’re in charge we no longer object to unelected, unaccountable “Czars?”
Yeah, that came out wrong. Czar run agencies need to be rolled up, their regulations pared down then the agency disbanded.
The only conservative policy we got out of W Bush was a temporary tax cut that didn’t simplify anything. He forgot everything we tried to do in the Contract with America days.
Those types of contractors are paid exorbitantly as well, since the money comes from a different agency funding pool. I have experienced that before, where programmers were paid on the order of $150k per year as contractors but as an employee, would have been paid $80-90K. Needless to say, they did NOT want to become employees. Terminate the contract!
Those are great ideas. And as the poster above indicated, the work of the department is largely done by contractors, so fire the hell out of the contractors. Bring that shite in-house at the same time you’re cutting full time staff. Make the few monkeys left work like we’ve been working in the private sector for a while.
Polygraph exams for all employees. You lie......you immediately become unemployed.
Ironically, when Perry was asked to name the three agencies he wanted to do away with, Energy was the one he couldn't remember.
