**Mission** Statement:
__ Provide the Secretary of Energy and senior DOE Managers with the efficient processing of (1) directives, (2) Freedom of Information Act requests (FOIA) and (3) Privacy Act requests; the development and implementation of related policies and procedures; and, the management of the information from these three programs on the Department’s websites.

__

__The Department of Energy has the monumental task of cleaning up contaminated sites and disposing of radioactive waste left behind as a byproduct of nuclear weapons production, nuclear powered naval vessels and commercial nuclear energy production. DOE must mitigate the risks and hazards posed by the legacy of nuclear weapons production and research. The most ambitious and far ranging of this mission is dealing with the environmental legacy of the Cold War. citation:

DOE must develop and manage a federal system for waste acceptance and transportation and dispose of spent nuclear fuel from commercial nuclear reactors and high-level radioactive waste from national defense activities citation:
 * Disposing of nuclear waste safely**

DOE must identify and resolve environmental policy and radiation protection issues by developing environmental policies, standards, guidance and associated tools to assist in discharging its environmental and public protection responsibilities. citation:__
 * Protecting the environment and the public**

**Recommendation:**
__i think the president should invest some of the people tax money on more efficient power sources, our country in a few years will become dangerously dependent on foreign oil, and the way the economy is now other countries aren't giving a helping hand. our president should provide more jobs on for people to start bringing in more energy supply systems, we need to the wind turbine and the hybrids, the electric cars, the biomass, the hydroelectric plant, the things thats we can use so that we now it will last, rather than depending on other countries and destroying our earth.__

**History:**
__The Department of Energy (DOE) has one of the richest and most diverse histories in the Federal Government. Although only in existence for a quarter century, the Department traces its lineage to the Manhattan Project and beyond.Researchers interested in documenting DOE history are welcome to browse DOE records, including declassified materials on the nuclear weapons program. DOE supports museums and historic facilities across the country dedicated to displaying and interpreting the history of the Department and its scientific and technological missions. Public tours are also available at some of the Department's sites.Owning some of the twentieth century's most historically significant physical properties, the Department oversees a vigorous historic preservation program dedicated to preserving and interpreting its heritage.__
 * Budget:**
 * __Support deployment and expand research into cost-effective carbon capture and storage;__
 * __Accelerate technological breakthroughs with the Advanced Energy Initiative;__
 * __Provide additional energy security with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve;__
 * __Foster scientific leadership with the American Competitiveness Initiative;__
 * __Advance environmental cleanup and nuclear waste management;__
 * __Maintain the nuclear weapons stockpile and continue to transform the weapons complex; and__
 * __Support work with other countries to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction.__

National Security:9.1 billion
