Department of Energy more or less tells Trump to go screw himself LINK

Zero self-awareness

They don't know that he just appointed a guy who infamously wants to get rid of the department?

Do they not understand that in the real world, defying your boss gets you terminated?

I'd purge the entire department and tell them to frick off.

Serious question(s): Why do we need a Dept. of Energy? What is the charged mission of the Dept. Of Energy?

Nothing mission critical, just developing/maintaining our nuclear program.

Remember what Trump said about the Podesta emails when Podesta was caught saying some nasty things about Hillary in some of the emails?

He said if that was one his people, he'd fire them. These libs are in for a rude awakening.

So you're gonna eliminate all 13,000 scientists, researchers, engineers, etc. and hope that Perry can restock it with people knowledgeable enough to run our nuclear program, among other functions, overnight?

I am pretty sure the nuclear program is run by individual power company's and the US government oversees that program.

Reagan fired the Patco air controllers and he didn't miss a beat. I'm sure we won't miss too much if Trump fired the Energy department.

Just purge every beaurocrat in DC. Make the department of energy a small group of research labs and that's it.

It's not 13,000 employees in the Energy Dept, it's 90,000! That's right 90,000 and their focus is not on the primary energy that powers this country, but on alternative energy sources and carbon emissions/tax credits.

I wish everyone could understand that oil companies are not in business to produce oil, but rather to make money! If there were money to be made in alternative energy sources, then oil companies would already be there!! This department can be cut!

insubordination is clear grounds for dismissal. Those SJW 's are in for it.

Donald Trump is the KING of "You're fired!"

Out in the Permian there is a nuclear waste disposal site that is run by private contractors. DOE has the biggest office building in town to house all of their employees that oversee the operation.

This is also the site that has been shut down for 3 years (in February) because of an explosion/leak.
