Trump Team Memo Hints at Big Shake-Up of U.S. Energy Policy

That would be Trump's Catastrophic Energy Agenda. Alarmism strikes again.

Hopefully as part of the:

The actual data on which the banning of coal due to fine particulate matter is based will be released. The study has never been fully disclosed and has never been repeated although real world data does not substantiate the claimed mortality rates.

Carbon Capture is dangerous. Earth converts Carbon to Life, we don't want government clowns burying carbon so that Earths conversion processes cannot take place.

Nuclear should only be the processes that cannot meltdown.

Hysteria breaking out among the warmists at the Department of Energy

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.

Perfectly reasonable requests, if your data cannot stand scrutiny, it should not be used, but the bureaucrats and autocrats are worried about accountability:

Coupled with calls by congressional Republicans to relax civil-service protections so that it’s easier to fire federal employees, the transition team’s demand that the Energy Department name names has some current and former workers fearing the worst.

“Sounds like a freaking witch hunt,” one former DOE staffer wrote in an email.

Dems are flogging the hysteria:

Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, denounced the questions as "environmental McCarthyism," calling them "a witch hunt and a loyalty test all rolled into one."

“The transition team should reconsider these apparent attempts to intimidate Energy Department employees who were simply working to fulfill the climate objectives of the Obama administration,” he wrote.

But as Barack The Full Time Golfer and part time president once noted: "Elections Have Consequences."

I can hardly wait to see the results of the questionnaire when they are released. Sunshine is what warms the Earth, and it is what disinfects junk science.

 

It sounds like a witch hunt to me as well. Perhaps Trump will try to intimidate all dissenters.

I am not opposed to fossil fuels, however I do think we have to diversify and exercise all options.

When I lived in Ft Lauderdale I noticed this fine black grit on all the cars.. It was from auto emissions.

We can do better.

OPEC countries are hard at work tying to reduce emissions even further.

 

things have improved since the days of the Model T Margot
