What has Rick Perry done?

• ceejayoz 9y ago
  During the 2012 Presidential primaries, he campaigned on getting rid of three agencies, including the Department of Energy, which he now runs. (This may jog your memory if you watch stuff like The Daily Show: in the debates, he fairly embarrassingly forgot which three agencies he wanted to get rid of...) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/19/rick-perry-hopes-head-agency-he-once-forgot/96732676/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/19/rick...

    I remember that moment quite well, and very fondly; I believe I watched TDS live back then every night. However, I asked what Rick Perry did, not what he said.

      Ah! Fair point. Will you accept subsidizing unneeded coal plants? https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/10/4/16407278/rick-perry-doe-plan-coal-nuclear-energy-markets https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/10/4/1640727...

        No because that clearly is an action in favor of better energy. (Not the best energy, not great environmentally and perhaps bad economically and healthly, but good for energy)
