President-elect Donald Trumps transition team to name staffers who worked on climate change programs.
Energy spokesman Eben Burnhan-Snyder said the agency received significant feedback from workers regarding a questionnaire from the transition team that leaked last week.
Some of the questions asked left many in our workforce unsettled, Snyder said.
We are going to respect the professional and scientific integrity and independence of our employees at our labs and across our department, Burnham-Snyder said in the Tuesday statement, first reported by The Washington Post.
We will be forthcoming with all publicly-available information with the transition team. We will not be providing any individual names to the transition team.

Into a banana republic where even civil service employees lose jobs when a new leader comes to power. I'm surprised he hadn't asked how they voted.

(21,718 posts)14. I have to sadly laugh at America
All of our stories of great American heroes, progress, innnovation, exploration, bravery and fighting the good fight. Now we sit helplessly as we turn our country over to a foreign power and our backs on science and knowledge. We become the book burners and fascists.
Why?
Because the world changed and people wanted to cling to their racism by claiming it was "the black guy's" fault they lost their jobs.
No happy ending here.
