Ernest Moniz?

I thought he already did that once under Obama? Or am I confusing him with another position.

All I remember is people going on about his hair, they could never get past his hair for some reason.

He wad referred to as Little Lord Fauntleroy.

Monies was once a pretty good scientist. He rapidly sold out for his 15min of fame on the Iran “deal”. We can do better.

Expect the DOE to rise from the ashes now that the new administration is going to pay serious attention to renewable energy sources, because it is necessary to play on the world stage. Perhaps a blue ribbon scientist with administrative chops in charge, instead of the steady procession of political hacks we have seen for the past few decades.

Vajid Majidi would be a good choice.

I think the real choice is going to surprise everybody.

It is not SECDOE that matters, it is NNSA Administrator.

NASA would out and out refuse that. They actually have people that know something about astronomy and while Neil may be find for TV shows and such he himself has very little in the way of an actual scientific accomplishments.

Oddly enough he is probably way over quailed for the DOE position. Over the years these positions are often more political in nature where we had people with far less experience than Neil. I think the DOE position is far more likely and he in fact would more qualified than many of the bizarre cases we have had in the past. We already had Rick Peery how could not even name the DOE but wanted to get rid of it. Not to mention Hazel O'Leary. I thought we also had a dentists at some point. I think Greta Thundberg is more likely (that's a joke). But it could something like Rob Emanual.

And that will change on inauguration day? Unlikely. Probably not until sometime in June when a majority of the population is vaccinated, but not if most refuse to get the vaccine. The population of the US could decide tomorrow to just stop transmitting the virus. Stay away from other people. Full stop.

It does not work that way, people need to eat, a place to live. Things need to be fixed, life still goes on so the virus still gets around, no matter what.

In any case would you deny someones right to protest?

You have a right to protest. You have no right to infect me or anyone else while doing so.
