Rename and refocus the Energy Department
What the document says“The Department of Energy should be renamed and refocused as the Department of Energy Security and Advanced Science (DESAS).”
The chapter proposes refocusing the department on five existing core missions, and separately that government should not pick winners and losers among energy resources or commercial technologies, which it says can crowd out innovation, devolve into cronyism and raise prices.
What the document actually says“The Department of Energy should be renamed and refocused as the Department of Energy Security and Advanced Science (DESAS).”
The Energy Department should get a new name. It should also get a narrower job.
This department handles energy and science. The book says it does too much else. It wants a new name and a smaller job.
