Feinstein Opposes
Perry Confirmation
Press Releases
Mar 02 2017
Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement
in opposition to Texas Governor Rick Perry as Secretary of Energy:
“The Secretary of
Energy must be an ardent defender of scientific integrity, a champion for nuclear nonproliferation efforts and an effective steward of our nuclear
weapons stockpiles. And there is no question that Secretaries Moniz and Chu
left big shoes for the next secretary to fill. Though every Energy Secretary
doesn’t need to be a brilliant physicist to succeed, the Energy Department deserves a chief executive
who genuinely cares about shaping our nation’s energy policy and overseeing our
nuclear arsenal. Governor Perry has not shown the knowledge or commitment to
fulfill these vital roles.
“I’m particularly
concerned with Governor Perry’s past comments on climate change. While he admitted
‘the climate is changing’ during his confirmation hearing, I believe he’ll do
too little to address the problem if confirmed.
“The department
is also engaged in a nearly trillion dollar modernization program for our
nuclear arsenal, which will require strong leadership to control costs and
ensure it focuses exclusively on maintaining deterrence. I have serious doubts
Governor Perry is prepared to stand up against pressures to develop new nuclear
weapons or resume nuclear testing.
“Due to his lack
of knowledge on nuclear issues, combined with his skepticism of the established
science concerning climate change, I oppose Governor Perry’s confirmation.”
