Rand Paul: Get Rid of Energy Department

By Douglas V. Gibbs

“It interferes with and takes away our choices on what kind of showers we want, what kind of toilets we want, what kind of light bulbs we want.” Paul told Fox Business Network. “Most of the Department of Energy is an impediment to producing energy. Not one barrel of oil is produced by the Department of Energy. But the Department of Energy stops a lot of oil from being produced.”

Like many of the federal agencies, the Energy Department is unconstitutional. The federal government does not have the authority to regulate energy. That should be left up to the states individually. So, Rand Paul is right. We should get rid of the Energy Department.
