Trump picked Rick Perry for Energy Secretary. He's on the board of the company building the Dakota Access Pipeline. http://quotes.wsj.com/ETP/company-people …

Rick Perry is on the board of the #DAPL parent company. This glaring conflict of interest should disqualify him from serving as Energy Sec.

1. Remember that the DOE operates the US nuclear labs.

Yet this fucking brain dead idiot wants to eliminate the DOE.

May I remind you that the last two DOE Secretaries have been physicists, one of them a Nobel Laureate (both under Obama).

Under Drumpf, we'll apparently have a fucking idiot who wants to eliminate the DOE.

And then fucking what?

I know...

3. The Dept. of Interior deals with oil and gas, not the Dept. of Energy.

5. that's not accurate

...there are numerous oil and gas initiatives, including the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, natural gas, fossil energy, fracking, shale, and oil exploration which are managed by the Energy Dept.

4. So sorry to hear this!

Can the "Energy Secretary" overturn an Army Corp permit block?

I smell a very foul conflict of interest issue here. They cannot confirm this slug.
