Energy Dept. Won’t Give Trump Team Names of Climate Employees

HeadlineDec 14, 2016

Last week, Trump’s team circulated a 74-part questionnaire at the Department of Energy requesting the names of employees working on specific climate-related projects and the names of employees who have attended climate talks over the last five years. Many have denounced the move as the creation of an “enemies list.”
