Well, the Department of Energy finally has a plan and it’s got Rick Perry’s paw prints all over it.

You thought Rick was hiding out at the Department of Energy and staying away from headlines – meaning Trump – as much as he could.

No.  He was pondering. He was pondering on what he could do that would change the world and make everybody realize that he should have been president.

He has it now, bygawd!

Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Steven Winberg, who signed the export order and also attended the Clean Energy Ministerial, said he was “pleased that the Department of Energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of U.S. freedom to be exported to the world.”

Molecules of Freedom.  You know, because Freedom Fries had such staying power.

They are pushing natural gas. Natural gas leaks contribute about 1/3 of all the methane released in in the world.

All the hoopla and cute names have come about because of a petrochemical company in Quintana, Texas, a former sleepy and lovely beach town between Houston and Corpus Christi that has now become something out of a post-apocalyptic movie.

You can bet your best pair of pink boots that Rick Perry knows and has a fancy relationship with the good ole boys building this leaky empire on the beaches of Texas.

So, you see, Rick is laying low until he can go back home and be a rich, rich man who has never held a job outside the government in his whole damn life.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
