- huac 9y agoThese are the last 3 heads of the Department of Energy. Perry is especially hilarious in this context because he intended to abolish the DOE.
- dboreham 9y agoThat wouldn't be so surprising (since the Environment Dept. head wanted to abolish it too, and Betsy Voss I'm sure wants to abolish the Education Dept). The surprising thing is that he believed that the Dept of Energy was to do with regulating the "Energy" aka Oil and Gas industries.
