From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is our sincere hope that the incoming Trump Administration, the Department of Energy, the newly formed National Energy Council and\/or its Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) make use of these resources in considering what to overhaul and what to scrap.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The incoming Trump Administration, committed to tame inflation and the Deep (Administrative) State, recognizes energy as the master resource<\/em>. This blogsite by the same name was established in 2007 to demonstrate the importance of energy exceptionalism free-market style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politicized \u201cenergy efficiency\u201d policies increase costs and limit choice for consumers, thus the need for government mandates and subsidies. The failed history of government in this area\u2013and why\u2013are cross-referenced here<\/a> by author and subject. These resources are freely available to anyone interested in the evolution of energy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is our sincere hope that the incoming Trump Administration, the Department of Energy, the newly formed National Energy Council  and\/or its Department of Government Efficiency<\/a> (DOGE) make use of these resources in considering what to overhaul and what to scrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of particular interest to us is the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy<\/a> (EERE).  Simply put, EERE is obsolete and counterproductive to a free-market economy<\/em>. Structural reformation of EERE is overdue for improving consumer choice and prosperity. And it is a relatively easy budget cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Krebs category uniquely provides the devils-in-the-details of how EERE routinely flouts its own laws and regulations and manipulates \u201cdata\u201d to stifle legitimate interests of everyday consumers. Further, the original justification for EERE, dating back to the 1970\u2019s oil embargoes, has long been solved. Some 50-years later, it\u2019s well past time to declare victory and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning in 2013, Mark Krebs (with frequent collaboration from Tom Tanton<\/a>) has authored 60 articles at MasterResource. It is our hope that these articles (listed below) provide the incoming Trump Administration with ample rationale for eliminating EERE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
