Groups Seek To Restructure DOE, Shift Cleanup Responsibilities To EPA

摘要

Environmental and energy innovation advocates are recommending that the Department of Energy (DOE) significantly restructure in order to better support new energy technologies, including shifting nuclear weapons and cleanup responsibilities to EPA and other agencies and reorganizing its offices based on energy uses rather than sources. The April 3 report, authored by the Clean Air Task Force and the Energy Innovation Reform Project, finds that DOE "continues to underperform against expectations" despite billions in stimulus law funding, the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and other efforts and programs to improve the department's performance.
