The unofficial "Trump's cabinet" thread

[Rico]

Dude wasn't officially going to start working in the WH until Aug 15th.  Got fired before he even started.  Only cost him his marriage.

And skipped the birth of his child

First bit of legitimately good news in a while. Hopefully his replacement lacks his abilities.

Over/under until he's hired by Fox News?

Has any cabinet ever been as disjointed as this one?   Nicely done, Drumpf.

Anyone else have Forrest Gump scenes in their head, when hearing Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions talk? 

[Tank]

This guy's mouth made him such a grand dooshbag. This was a necessary move.

Pardon my ignorance but who was the one that hired him?

[RallyMo]

The Federalist is pretty solid here.

Mooches official start date was August 15th.

add insult to injury. Spicer's official leave date is in the next week or two. So in reality he outlasted the mooch.

We certainly live in strange times, the idea that Rick Perry moving to head of DHS might be an improvement over where he is now

[Adam]

Can't he be head of beenie babies?

The big questions the grid study sought to answer were these: What is driving the closures of those power plants? And what should be done about it?

The report's answer to that first question is notable in that it's already widely known: The No. 1 reason coal and nuclear power plants are closing is that they are being priced out of the electricity market by an abundance of cheap natural gas pumped from hydraulic fracturing projects that have come online over the past decade. 

"The biggest contributor to coal and nuclear plant retirements has been the advantaged economics of natural gas-fired generation,” the study states.

However, it's the answer to that second question — what should be done? — that has given coal and nuclear advocates cause to celebrate the study, and solar and wind advocates cause to denounce it.

The study's policy recommendations include various measures that would likely have the effect of boosting coal and nuclear power. They include requests that: 

• the Environmental Protection Agency ease permitting requirements for new investments at coal-fired plants
• the Nuclear Regulatory Commission do the same with regard to safety requirements
• and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission compensate grid participants that help keep power reliable.
