Title: About That Memo To The DOE...

"Over at the Washington Post, Chris Mooney and the usual suspects are seriously alarmed by a memo sent out by the Transition Team at the Department of Energy. They describe it in breathless terms in an article entitled “Trump transition team for Energy Department seeks names of employees involved in climate meetings“.   The finest part was this quote from Michael Halpern:

    Michael Halpern, deputy director of the Union of Concerned Scientists’ Center for Science and Democracy, called the memo’s demand that Energy officials identify specific employees “alarming.”

    “If the Trump administration is already singling out scientists for doing their jobs, the scientific community is right to be worried about what his administration will do in office. What’s next? Trump administration officials holding up lists of ‘known climatologists’ and urging the public to go after them?” Halpern asked.


Oh … you mean like say the Attorneys General of a bunch of states holding up their lists of known “denier” organizations and tacitly urging the public to go after them? You mean like government officials of a variety of stripes ranting about how “deniers” should be brought to trial or otherwise penalized? You mean like having sites like DeSmogBlog making ugly insinuations and false statements about every known opponent of the climate party line? You mean like Roger Pielke being hounded out of his job by the climate mob?"

This whole election was about tearing down facades. It's going to get uglier.

Washington Post = Propaganda arm of ultra liberal/progressive/communist Jeff Bezos of Amazon. It's OK for him to make money but NOT YOU!  Reasonably priced energy is the DEVIL.  It only destroys the environment, and enhances the standard of living of the non-connected.

I love the convenience of Amazon, but hate myself every time I place an order. Wonder if he pays his "patriotic "[ref: C. Booker] fair share?

And, DOE, apparently digging in, refuses to name names:

I think they are in for a real shock next month.

Duh, yes it is Amazon where Bezos is CEO.  However, Yahoo, Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc are all far left, communist companies.

Well... maybe.  Hopefully we are just not bringing in a new cast of swamp monsters.

Obama installed every, far left, MMGW advocate in every agency that he could.  EPA, Energy, NOAA, NASA, etc.  Now it is Trump's turn to replace them with those that are not religious zealots in this area, and DENIERS of objective science.
