The Department of Energy said Tuesday it will reject the request by President-elect Donald Trump's transition team to name staffers who worked on climate change programs. Energy spokesman Eben Burnhan-Snyder said the agency received "significant feedback" from workers regarding a questionnaire from the transition team that leaked last week. From a Reuters story, syndicated on BusinessInsider:
The response from the Energy Department could signal a rocky transition for the president-elect's energy team and potential friction between the new leadership and the staffers who remain in place. The memo sent to the Energy Department on Tuesday and reviewed by Reuters last week contains 74 questions including a request for a list of all department employees and contractors who attended the annual global climate talks hosted by the United Nations within the last five years. "Our career workforce, including our contractors and employees at our labs, comprise the backbone of (the Energy Department) and the important work our department does to benefit the American people," Eben Burnham-Snyder, Energy Department spokesman said. "We are going to respect the professional and scientific integrity and independence of our employees at our labs and across our department," he added. "We will be forthcoming with all publicly available information with the transition team. We will not be providing any individual names to the transition team."

I bet there was some non-discloser agreements that were or will be "voluntary" ask to be signed also.

Donald duck Trump even was babbling about eliminating the Dept of Energy altogether.
The one good thing about trump is he lies continually, so whatever.


Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. 'member Obama's "secret" kill list?

There'll be no big infrastructure spend, Trump thinks he can get private money to invest in infrastructure by offering corporate welfare in the form of tax breaks to his cronies. Or maybe he doesn't believe it, but just wants to spread the graft around. Trump will be the worst president ever, and this from someone who thought Clinton would be in the running to be. We're talking worse than Reagan here, for god's sakes. His staffing of his administration thus far has been about as bad as is possible to imagine.

It's pretty bad when you would love to see Bush Jr back in the Oval Office.

well he made it over 270 now.

then this is funny from my state.

The count is in for Washington state's Electoral College votes.

Democrat Hillary Clinton received eight votes, former Secretary of State Colin Powell got three, and Faith Spotted Eagle, an elder in the Yankton Dakota tribe, got one. Clinton won the state's popular vote.

For vice president, Clinton running mate Tim Kaine got eight, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Native American activist Winona LaDuke each got one vote.

watch the 'born again' gop rediscover the power of government!


"I think in the case of the president, he has a broad ability to organize the White House the way he wants to," Gingrich told NPR's Diane Rehm. "He also has, frankly, the power of the pardon. I mean, it is a totally open power, and he could simply say look, I want them to be my advisors, I pardon them if anybody finds them to have behaved against the rules, period. And technically under the Constitution he has that level of authority."
