    When I worked at the DoE, the agency would spend billions on frivolous projects in partnership with Green washing corps.

    If the Repos are sincere about cutting gov spending, DoE will be first on the chopping block. But they’re not lol so all those ‘sustainability’ programs are going to be diverted into the pockets of Oil giants instead lol

      Seen in it my area. Suddenly natural gas trucks have big-ass words on the side that say “clean”.

      Can confirm, work for an FFRDC.

      Decarbonization projects are fucked. So is energy star. Some may be able to repackage as “resilience”. Nuclear will eat well.

    I’m getting irrationally annoyed by titles that say “Trump appoints” for cabinet level positions. This is the polysci lib in me, but he’s not even president yet. He hasn’t even nominated them to the Senate. Any of this could change in the next couple months.

    Also that guy looks like a ghoul Paddy Considine. Paddy doesn’t deserve that comparison but it’s unfortunately true.

      I mean, true; I just took the auto-generated title and slapped it in there. Fair point to what you’re saying though; I wouldn’t be surprised if most of these people get nominated and just end up being layers of protection when Trump or his other donors/lobbyists want to push through some ghoulish shit.

      Did change the title btw.
