Trump is brilliant picking people to head the agencies the new heads hate. Put the screws to DC!

Let's just hope Rick doesn't forget the name of it again.

There's plenty of federal departments I'd like everyone to forget.

Right, because all of those liberal academic Energy Secretaries have done such a 'great' job!

After years of mismanagement under their 'leadership,' we have virtually no energy policy in this country other than "oil and coal are bad, solar and wind are good." That's not a policy.

I'll give the governor of the Texas that has a proven track record of using natural resources to bring success to his state (i.e. real world experience) a try over all those failed utty professors.

And BTW, Ernest Moniz looks like a pervert and certainly not someone I would trust my children with.

You forgot the "mmmm-kay".

After years of mismanagement under their 'leadership,' we have virtually no energy policy in this country other than "oil and coal are bad, mmmm-kay; solar and wind are good."

I agree, I'm sick of so called intellectuals (professors) who think only in theory and have no real world experience.

I'm excited that Trump is bringing in business minds to help turn the Country around and not more elitist political hacks and institutionalists.

Looks like Rick Perry was preceded by a lot of people who haven't held a real job, managed a staff, etc..

Do you know what the main job of the Dept. of Energy is?

It's making sure the US nuclear energy assets and weapons are kept secure and safe. Something like 60% of the energy dept. resources are spent making sure we don't have a nuclear disaster. That's why scientists have been chosen.

Damn , really i did wonder why all those learned professor scientists previously appointed so fervently advocate green energy policy, picked winners and losers in the solar graft sweepstakes and preached climate change sermons. Thanks for the heads up.

You don't need professors or scientists for that. The Navy has a better track record than the DoE ... probably some A&M grads too.

Current Director of Naval Reactors is a Mech E with a MS in Operations Research.

The DOE and the Navy work together on the navy nuclear assets, it's not a navy only job. And I'm not sure what you mean by a better track record.
Please explain.

Yes, we all know, you're constantly confused. It's amazing you're able to put your pants and tinfoil hat on every day.

Whoa That's quite the Clintonian denial.
i confess to being technically challenged re dumpster diving for old UWS threads, but some parties to this thread, e.g. Awesome, Riverguy and USN can probably hook up your previous criticisms of the Kochs and their political influen$e.

I hate many forms of political influence, and is not limited to the Kochs. But disliking political influence is not even remotely close to blaming the Kochs for something. You're simply, as you are almost every time you post something in response to something I wrote.

Y'all need to fix yer quote boxes...or, apologize like IP always sez

I'm not fixing miles mistakes. It's a bad precedent, considering the sheer volume of things I'd have to fix. But, you're right, miles should apologize for that also.

LOL

Please explain.

1. Ok, and? They each still have their own responsibilities. Naval Reactors just has another cabinet secretary to answer to.
2. Better safety record - Nuclear Reactors is essentially the model for all safety programs (including NASA).
3. The idea that being a professor or scientist is somehow a requirement for a cabinet-level bureaucrat is ridiculous.
