Department of Energy(DOE)

Shared lab data infrastructure, high-performance computing access, digital permitting support, grid data interoperability, and AI for materials and operations with cybersecurity controls.

Applicants for grants, loans, and lab partnerships face long, technical, and duplicative processes; simplification should preserve safety and merit review.

DOE overlaps productively with NSF, DOD, Commerce/NIST, EPA, FERC, and Interior; the key is clear handoff from basic research to standards to deployment.

Do not cut nuclear safety, lab core science, or cleanup oversight to chase near-term savings.

Treat DOE as a national capability builder: tighter project discipline, faster lab-to-market pathways, transparent cleanup contracts, and grid/energy data systems that help public and private builders move faster.
