Energy is needed to ride herd on the nuclear stuff but the rest can go. Any agency that meddles in free enterprise or peddles climate nonsense, woke/DEI crap, or propaganda needs a very significant haircut at a minimum. As in at least 25% headcount reduction and moving needed operations out of DC.
We all know what needs to be done and at the same time we all know what will NOT happen... Too many rats have feathered their nests in BIG govt agencies and have made it next to impossible to get rid of any of them.
It would take a military overthrow to end most of these out of control govt agencies at this point. They’re all way too entrenched and chock full of self serving, careerist looters and rats.
Energy can shrink by 2/3 and give the nuclear work to the labs
No. They have the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for that. Energy goes!
Indeed. We don't need a whole department ... just a Commission.
An Atomic Energy Commission.
That would probably work just fine.
