The U.S. Department of Energy......... These are the same clowns who want to make home use of natural gas much more expensive. Via their crazy new regulations for new gas stoves and new heating units.

Because basically, these Department of Energy Federales sit on their asses all day (work from home) and have to make themselves look busy and useful a few times a decade.

I like DOE. They paid me good wages for 12 years.

You're dead RIGHT about that. I believe they call it "justifying your own existence"... once that's accomplished through whatever "silly $hit" they've thought up, then they believe they have a reason to collect their UNEARNED paycheck.
