Greenpeace ratings for candidates on climate issues
Not great PeteButt!
Inslee would be a great Cabinet nominee if a Dem wins
The Daily Beast reports that in the 206 counties that went for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and then went for Donald Trump in 2016, Bernie Sanders is raking in far and away the most individual donations. Sanders has received 81,841 donations from 33,185 donors in flipped counties. That’s roughly three times as much as runner-up Elizabeth Warren, who received 26,298 donations from 13,674 donors. Buttigieg comes in just under Warren, with Biden trailing closely behind.
I was thinking this also. Energy or Interior. Also want to see Doug Jones as AG, assuming he loses his senate race. Maybe Bullock at Interior or Agriculture and Castro at Homeland Security. This is of course assuming we win. Which is no near certainty.
In general, I think DOE is probably the least understood cabinet level position. It is the department responsible for the research, development, construction and maintenance of our nuclear weapons, for oversight and security on all mines, reactors, fuel fabrication plants, medical grade nuclear materials (x-ray machines, oncology devices, etc) and tons of other ancillary nuclear fields.
Department of the Interior overseas much more of the traditional fossil fuel based stuff, which is what I think most people think DOE does. DOE should honestly get a rename, or the NNSA should be broken out into a separate cabinet level department (which honestly, since it dominates DOE is basically already is).

Green peace is complete BS. Sanders has called for the complete elimination of nuclear power. Fuck off if you think he cares about climate change.

I mean he obviously does care about climate change, he's proposed a $16 trillion plan to combat it and his stance on nuclear is that it's both expensive and risky compared to other options (which is true - not that I agree with all of his proposals including his position to get away from nuclear power).
