Stop DOE energy-justice, Justice40, and DEI social-agenda programs
Mandate instructs ending use of energy policy for politicized social agendas, naming energy justice, Justice40, and DEI as programs that can promote politicized agendas rather than abundant affordable energy and fair employment.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 12 (Energy) — Focus on energy and science issues, not politicized social programs: stop using energy policy to advance politicized social agendas; programs such as energy justice, Justice40, and DEI can be transformed to promote politicized agendas; DOE should focus on abundant affordable reliable secure energy and manage employees fairly based on talent/skills/hard work.
Undo plan
1) Restore disadvantaged-community investment transparency without dismantling pollution-burden targeting required by law.
2) Keep equal employment opportunity compliance separate from ideological DEI scorecards.
3) Reissue Justice40-style metrics only if statute mandates geographic equity in IIJA spend.
4) Focus remaining funds on energy access and remediation in overburdened areas.
5) Verify: energy-burden and pollution exposure indicators.
