More than 3,500 staffers are preparing to leave the Energy Department in coming days, gutting offices tasked with doling out billions of dollars...
Roughly 77 percent of workers at the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, or OCED, took an offer to leave voluntarily...
deeper cuts are likely on the horizon as DOE complies with the administration's push to shrink the federal footprint...
OCED, for example, was allocated more than $25 billion under those laws, including for hydrogen hubs, carbon capture and battery projects.

Lol. -- Footnote: The DOE started the year with about 14,000 employees.
“... gutting offices tasked with doling out billions of dollars...”
What great news!
Aren’t most of them Chinese anyways?
Yes. “doling out billions of dollars” turns my stomach.
I worked with a lot of DOE people in the 1980s. I was absolutely underwhelmed with the quality of people there. On one energy project, the DOE manager looked through a boiler viewport and asked me “What are all those tubes in there?” Waterwall boilers are MADE out of welded steel tubes. It was pathetic.
I know right?.....this is written as a bad thing........it ain’t.
“the DOE manager...”
There’s your problem.
Where I was in the DoD people like that got moved up just to hide ‘em.......it was referred to as a “shitcan promotion”.
Winning…
Do they get enough to tide them over to the next scam?
I still say that the WEF-crowd was just going to Davos so that they could check on their bank accounts.
I wonder if some of the government funds that paid those Politico subscriptions came from the DOE?
The difference between organized crime and the government: One of them is actually organized.
Carbon capture is worse than bogus. It’s dangerous.
EXCELLENT! The Hits just keep on coming. If this keeps up, I'm starting to think the mid-term elections will turn out in our favor. Plus, Dimocrats are going further left by most indicators. That is exactly what the American populace doesn't want according to the sweeping election of President Trump and various surveys.
25 Billion dollars— for pure crap. These people should have left, hanging their heads in shame.
We do not need agencies that just dole out federal dollars. Our dollars! Anything worth doing will be funded by people who want to make money. No more gov’t grants or loans. At $36 trillion in debt, we’ve spent enough money already.
93K under contract either as SETAs or on actually R/D contracts.
TREES & PLANTS ALWAYS DID A GOOD JOB-—& THEY DIDn’T GET PAID
“ the carbon will have to be “captured” some other way.”
Get some fecking plants.
Uh, before they go, can they dole out a billion for me?
Look at all that waste product at the base of that tree! /liberal idiot
