Rename DOE as Department of Energy Security and Advanced Science; drop winner-picking
Mandate would rename DOE to DESAS focused on energy security, advanced science, remediation, nuclear weapons/naval reactors, and promoting U.S. energy interests abroad—explicitly getting government out of picking energy winners and losers.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 12 (Energy) — Mission Statement for Reformed DOE: Department of Energy should be renamed and refocused as Department of Energy Security and Advanced Science (DESAS) on five core missions—energy security/national security coordination; U.S. energy economic interests abroad; cutting-edge fundamental advanced science; remediating Manhattan Project/Cold War sites; developing new nuclear weapons and naval reactors—while ending commercialization favoritism.
Undo plan
1) Keep DOE name/structure if renaming is cosmetic; restore applied clean-energy R&D under clear statutes.
2) Separate national nuclear security missions from domestic energy market regulation.
3) Maintain technology-neutral innovation including renewables, storage, nuclear, and fossil mitigation science.
4) Require congressional authorization for major reorg.
5) Verify: lab milestone delivery and energy-security incident metrics.
