Does he even know what Energy does or is he add ignorant as Rick Perry?

this almost certainly falls into a weird middle ground of "virtue signal that even he knows is not realistic, but which also speaks to the legitimate opinion of many Republican voters and elites probably including himself". DeSantis is many things--but ignorant is not one of them.

Oh he's definitely in the virtue signaling end of his business. He keeps pushing laws that he knows damn well are unconstitutional but they sure rile the base.
