Stop using energy policy to advance social agendas
What the document says“The next Administration should stop using energy policy to advance politicized social agendas.”
The chapter names energy justice, Justice40 and diversity, equity and inclusion as programs it says can be transformed to promote politicized agendas. It says the department should focus on abundant, affordable, reliable and secure energy and should manage employees so that everyone is treated fairly on talent, skills and hard work.
What the document actually says“The next Administration should stop using energy policy to advance politicized social agendas.”
Do not use energy rules to push causes. That should stop.
Some energy programs aim to help certain communities. The book calls those social causes. It says energy policy should not be used that way.

Addresses the chapter's subject of removing what it calls politicized considerations from energy policy, by a different route: this order works through revocations and methodology instructions rather than through the departmental programs the chapter named.
The book asked that politics be kept out of energy policy. The order takes up that subject. But it takes a new route. It works by pulling old orders and setting new ways to weigh costs. It does not touch the programs the book named.
