There is no Energy Emergency...except for the one that will follow if Congress passes the Bloated Billionaire Bailout that would eviscerate incentives for industry to invest in and produce more energy in America.

We believe taxpayers deserve the resources they already paid for. The folks at Yard Sale Energy have uploaded the reports here:

Deleted reports aim to make advanced industry and fuels more efficient and competitive, to secure the grid, and to provide more reliable electricity. Topics include advanced nuclear and geothermal energy, which Secretary Wrong purportedly supports.
DOE's fire sale of public resources has turned into a veritable book burner, quietly deleting more than a dozen Pathways to Commercial Liftoff reports, which provide technical and economic strategies for private industry to scale crucial emerging energy technologies.
❌ Eviscerates resurgence in clean energy manufacturing, egregiously so for critical minerals and wind components, stymying the U.S. in the global race for these key markets
❌ Increases home utility costs by slashing tax credits for investing in efficiency upgrades
❌ Shutters nascent clean power generation projects while still in their infancy, making nuclear and geothermal projects (energy dense, reliable sources in Sec. Wright's mind) un-financeable
❌ Increases transportation costs for drivers and businesses trying to switch to EVs made in America.
This week, the House Ways & Means Committee released its proposed changes to tax policy.
📈 Rhodium Group research projects Americans' energy costs would increase by as much as 5%.
Tax breaks for the richest Americans mean ballooning expenses to American energy producers and users:
ICYMI: Last week, DOE appointed its DOGE lead as its new Chief of Staff. DOGE has spent the last 4 months undercutting DOE investments in domestic manufacturing, which is completely at odds with bringing jobs back to the US. This is not a move that benefits Americans.

DOE’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) publishes vital data for the global energy industry. This week, @propublica.org published information about how current leadership is pushing to cancel reports, delete analysis, and obfuscate information.

We aim to help bring forth actionable insights to help citizens hold DOE decision-makers accountable.
As our public institutions are being torn apart, we need transparency and insight into what we're losing.
We refuse the premise that we must accept polluting our communities and destroying our environment to achieve these goals.
In a time of growing climate chaos, we will aim to uphold DOE's missions to address our national energy, environmental, and security challenges through transformative science and technology solutions.
Follow us for objective, non-partisan analysis, context, and critiques of decisions being made by unelected billionaires and their lackeys at DOE.
Today we switch on the Alternative U.S. Department of Energy, a community of DOE staff and supporters dedicated to speaking truth to power and exposing corruption at the nation's energy agency.
