History of The Department of Energy

First, let me say, the new plan is we cannot drill the oil we have and must buy our oil from others. What if, we used only or mostly our oil, while we really pushed alternate energy.

MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT CAN HELP US DO IT.

Absolutely the funniest joke ever......ON US!!!
• Let it sink in.
• Quietly we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ..... during the Carter Administration?
• Anybody?
• Anything?
• No?
• Didn't think so !

Bottom line .. we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency..the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember.

Ready?

It was very simple.. and at the time everybody thought it very appropriate...

The 'Department of Energy' was instituted on August 4,1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL. Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????

AND NOW IT'S 2009, 32 YEARS LATER... AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS NECESSARY DEPARTMENT IS AT$24.2 + BILLION A YEAR IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY "WHAT WAS I THINKING?"
