It's just telling that you've got an authoritarian playbook that sort of, at every pass, seems to be more focused on driving up corporate profits at the expense of the American people.

Department of Energy and Related Commissions
American science dominance is critical to U.S. national security and economic strength. The next conservative President therefore needs to recommit the United States to ensuring this dominance.
MISSION STATEMENT FOR A REFORMED DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
The Department of Energy should be renamed and refocused as the Department of Energy Security and Advanced Science (DESAS). DESAS would refocus on DOE’s five existing core missions:
• Providing leadership and coordination on energy security and related national security issues,
• Promoting U.S. energy economic interests abroad,
• Leading the nation and the world in cutting-edge fundamental advanced science,
• Remediating former Manhattan Project and Cold War nuclear material sites, and
• Developing new nuclear weapons and naval nuclear reactors.
These missions work together by using advanced science to promote national security while getting the government out of the business of picking winners and losers in energy resources. Reform is needed because DOE, instead of focusing on core energy and security issues, has been spending billions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize renewable energy developers and investors, thereby making Americans less energy secure and distorting energy markets.
OVERVIEW
DOE was created by the Department of Energy Organization Act of 19775 in response to the 1970s oil crisis, consolidating various energy programs that previously had operated without coordination throughout the federal government in a single department. In addition to addressing energy issues, DOE is tasked with:
• Engaging in basic and fundamental science and research through the 17 National Laboratories;
• Cleaning up the Manhattan Project and Cold War nuclear material and weapons sites;
