Trump transition team for Energy Department seeks names of employees involved in climate meetings https://t.co/m24dAVx3bI

From Politico:
Donald Trump’s transition team wants the Energy Department to provide the names of any employees who have worked on President Barack Obama’s climate initiatives — a request that has current and former staffers fearing an oncoming “witch hunt.”
The president-elect’s team sought the information as part of a 74-point questionnaire that also asked for details about how DOE’s statistical arm, the Energy Information Administration, does the math on issues such as the cost-effectiveness of wind and solar power versus fossil fuels. POLITICO obtained the document Friday, after Trump’s advisers sent it to the department earlier in the week.
Democrats and lefty media outlets aren’t happy, to say the least.

Based on the outrage from the left, it seems like President-elect Trump is on the right track.
