Eliminate the department's applied energy programs
What the document says“The next Administration should work with Congress to eliminate all DOE applied energy programs including OE”
The chapter repeats this proposal office by office, asking for the elimination of the offices covering electricity, fossil energy and carbon management, nuclear energy and energy efficiency and renewable energy. It says taxpayer dollars should not subsidize preferred businesses and energy resources, which it says distorts the market and undermines reliability. It allows a possible exception for work related to basic science for new energy technology.
What the document actually says“The next Administration should work with Congress to eliminate all DOE applied energy programs including OE”
Work with Congress to close these energy programs. All of them.
The department runs programs that help bring energy technology to market. The book says private firms should do that. It wants the programs closed.
