Which shows ignorance. 3/4 of the DOE budget goes for nuclear weapons and basic science. Not to say there are not problem, but, part of the ineffectuality of the DOE in energy, in addition to woke and green, is that its funding in those areas is insubstantial politically driven pork that doesn't represent a pimple on private investment in these areas.
Agree the Atomic Energy Commission should be reformed; broken away from non-nuclear energy work. That non-nuclear work either set up in a separate commission or abandoned.
