Very well, then the department gets gutted to a man.
Starting with the person who generated the response stated in the article.

“The Energy Department has a $32 billion annual budget, yet the bulk of its workforce — nearly 100,000 employees — comes from private contractors. The agency has 14,000 government employees.”

Absolutely amazing.

I believe this is going to be a great year in 2017. Elections really do have consequences.

He can start with an audit of travel records and see who attended the climate scare conferences

And freeze all travel to nonessential events
Then see what his departments define as “ essential”

Mass firings, and hire only as many as they need with a vastly stripped budget. Since Trump has been elected, about the only thing they should do from now on is certify new power plants.

They are all LIARS! Left in their jobs, they will do everything in their power to thwart and subvert the incoming government. Enough of their “leaders” need to be fired to send a clear message that they will do exactly as they are told or they will go too.

Kind of neat they put a guy in charge of it that thinks it should be eliminated. Like hiring a wrecking ball company. Talk about draining the swamp!

Putting off the inevitable - many will be looking for work elsewhere once Perry is at the head of it. he wanted to do away with the Department and he probably has some ideas of how to pare it down....
