National Lab of the Rockies, formerly NREL, lays off more than 130 employees The cuts impacted staffers engaged in both research and operations at the lab.

National Lab of the Rockies cuts 134 jobs, confirming a stark federal shift away from renewables. Following Trump's controversial rebrand, layoffs signal the administration is rapidly gutting the facility’s green energy mandate amid budget uncertainty. #NREL

In the Regime's shitstorm, did anyone else miss that the National Renewable Energy Laboratory lost its name?

It's now the National Laboratory of the Rockies.

You could have said National Rockies Energy Laboratory to save money and headache, but that is not what cultural warfare is about.

News Release: Energy Department Renames NREL 'National Laboratory of the Rockies' | NLR

The @departmentofenergy.bsky.social is renaming #NREL to "National Laboratory of the Rockies"

Two points here:
1️⃣ Renaming things is a classic move for controlling people.
2️⃣ This is likely a move to push NREL AWAY from #renewableenergy research (a Trump priority)
