they put the coal, oil, and gas guy in charge of the DOE. Department of Energy.
Which has very little to almost NOTHING to do with drilling or mining or coal, oil, or gas.
DOE is in charge of very very energetic things... very energetic.
mushroom cloud sort of energetic things. Nuclear Weapons!!! You fucking dumb fucks.
They have ALMOST nothing to do with nuclear energy... oh they work on a few experimental reactors here and there.
They have to do with, almost exclusively, nuclear weapons.
This is the Manhattan Project from 85 years ago... Oppenheimer, Teller, Fermi, etc. physicists.
The money goes to LLNL, LANL, Sandia, ORNL, Argonne, NERSC, LLBL, Hanford, and other similar places. They currently design new nukes and, most importantly, take care of current stockpiles of nukes... making sure that they don't accidental go boom as they get older. And all without testing them. They simulate everything... with massive supercomputers.
You dumb fucking conservatives... you put a oil fracking guy into a group of the brightest PhDs on the planet... Oppenheimer's role! If you wanted to do something to kill green energy or promote oil and gas, Sec of Interior or BLM or Sec of State... anything but the DOE. You dumb fucks!
BTW, as for making America into Saudi Arabia again... you cannot... physically impossible.
It's all about extraction costs. A barrel of fracked oil, or a barrel of tar sands ( even worse ) costs at least a minimum of $40 a barrel. Saudi's can extract a barrel for $10. Anytime the Saudis want to kill American oil companies... they can pump and sell oil for $30 a barrel and own the market. and kill ALL US producers withing a year... or less. They have done so in the past ( in cooperation with OPEC and Russia ). They don't want to do that because they like getting $70 a barrel right now. But if they feel threatened by Trump and this moron at DOE... it WILL happen. Once they kill Exxon Mobil and Conoco Phillips, they will wreck our economy and buy up our oil companies for pennies... and then raise the price to oil to whatever they want. Not much we can do about that... other than to stop using oil and gas. But Donny Dumbfuck is too stupid or too much a pawn of Vlad baby to understand or fight against that.
