'Here’s a little economics lesson: supply and demand. You put the supply out there and the demand will follow.' July 6, 2017 12:42 pm RL

http://time.com/4847525/rick-perry-supply-demand-quote/

Energy Secretary Rick Perry has a reputation for verbal gaffes, so the internet pounced on his latest remarks.
In a visit to a coal-fired power plant in West Virginia, the former Texas governor and two-time presidential candidate appeared to misstate a fundamental economic principle.
“Here’s a little economics lesson: supply and demand. You put the supply out there and the demand will follow,” Perry said, according to a reporter on the scene.

Reminder: the last 2 DOE heads were world respected physicists- one a Nobel prize winner…
THIS one, however, got a D in class called ‘Meats’
