I have added a new article (United States Energy Information Administration) that relates to the United States Department of Energy. I am not quite sure where to add and link it in the current DoE article. I will defer to you unless this goes unnoticed for a day or so, in which case I will try and figure out how to properly add it to the current article. Michael A. 09:07, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Budget

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_%28US_government%29 lists DOE as having over 20 billion dollars in the 2004 budget, but this page says that the budget is 1.1 billion in 2007. It seems like either one of these numbers is a mistake, or that the twenty fold drop in budget in a few years seems noteworthy. I haven't taken the time to suss out which.

[edit] National Lab template?

Not sure if anybody cares much, but I thought about doing a US National Lab template, something like the following:

U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory System	Ames \| Argonne \| Berkeley \| Brookhaven \| Fermi \| Idaho \| Jefferson Livermore \| Los Alamos \| NETL \| NREL \| Oak Ridge Pacific Northwest \| Princeton \| Sandia \| SLAC

~~I've left off any of their facilities which I didn't think were officially "National Laboratories" but I might be wrong on that.~~ (Actually, I confirmed which ones were national labs, from here) Any thoughts? A few of them don't have pages yet but I'll eventually get to them (quick stubs could be easily put up in the meantime). --Fastfission 17:25, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Hanford and Savannah River

Should the Hanford Site and Savannah River Site be listed here? Simesa 3 July 2005 20:20 (UTC)

[edit] history

needs more history on how it was founded and past secretaries —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.199.194.227 (talk) 18:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC).
