    nuclear power is actually pretty simple, its a reactor sitting in a giant swimming pool encased in cement, once you see it broken down its simple simple. ive sat over the big swimming pool on wooden 2x10's with really long pliers moving the rods around =)

    Trump's Energy Pick Perry Regrets Calling for Department's Elimination

    Published January 19, 2017 Politics Reuters

    (Reuters)

    Rick Perry, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to run the Energy Department, said during his Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday that he regrets having called for the department's elimination during his failed bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.

    "After being briefed on so many of the vital functions of the Department of Energy, I regret recommending its elimination," the former Texas governor said in his opening remarks to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.


    you are harping on old news

    The hilarious part here is that you clearly never read the first post of HeavyG's that you quoted, because that one also contained the statement regarding "regret."  You're very confused old man.

    Very simple: they expect the eventual f-ups to be significant.  It's good politics.

    You: "why are you digging up old news?"

    HeavyG: "Ahm this is from this morning."

    You: "Here's a link to an article that talks about him saying this morning that he REGRETS saying that.  Pay attention to the word REGRET."

    I think everybody is overlooking the obvious. 

    Excelling in Meat at Texas A&M is clearly no easy task.  He likely would have gotten an A in Meat at most schools.

    It's actually an achievement, just in the direction that's opposite of what we usually expect.  Dude is a pioneer!

    Didn't he actually reveal it? The headline is again fake news. I believe he revised his paperwork prior to hearing and that's how the dishonest NYT got the info for their intentionally misleading headline.

    I will say that as bad as Perry is for running the DOE, he looks like an all star compared to DeVos at Education or Carson at HUD.  Those are head scratchers.

     If the last prez got this treatment he would have been run out of town. They are liars in the MSM. 

    You should be angry like I am. It's telling that you're not. Doesn't it even bother you? I would venture to say you never notice the BS because it supports your bias.
