President-elect Donald Trump is planning to nominate former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) to lead the Department of Energy (DOE), a transition official tells The Hill.
If the Senate confirms Perry as secretary of Energy, he would oversee a department whose main missions include research on emerging energy technologies, regulating energy efficiency, managing the nation’s nuclear weapons and building nuclear reactors for Navy vessels.
