Clean Energy to Out-Innovate the Rest of the Worldby Kate Bannan 12 May, 2011 in Science Communications President Obama recently visited a clean energy company that manufactures hybrid vehicle transmission technology, and spoke about his long term plan to protect consumers against rising oil prices and decrease oil imports while ensuring a cleaner, safer and more secure energy future for our country. The President said that investments in a clean energy economy are the only solution to high gas prices in the long term. The Department of Energy is committed to reducing America's dependence on foreign oil and developing energy efficient technologies for buildings, homes, transportation, power systems and industry. DOE invests in clean energy technologies that strengthen the economy, protect the environment, and reduce dependence on foreign oil.

Department of Energy Releases 2011 Strategic Planby Kate Bannan 10 May, 2011 in Science Communications
Plan lays out the Department’s leadership role in transforming the energy economy through investments in research, development of new technologies and deployment of innovative approaches
DOE recently released its 2011 Department of Energy Strategic Plan, which outlines the broad, cross-cutting and collaborative goals, and will serve as a blueprint for DOE to help address the nation’s energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions.
The Department’s missions and programs are designed to bring the best minds and capabilities to bear on important problems. It draws on the diverse talents of our federal workforce, scientists and engineers from national laboratories, academia and the private sector in multidisciplinary teams, striving to find solutions to the most complex and pressing challenges.
The DOE Strategic Planis organized into four distinct categories:
· Catalyzing the timely, material, and efficient transformation of the nation’s energy system and securing U.S. leadership in clean energy technologies
· Maintaining a vibrant U.S. effort in science and engineering as a cornerstone of our economic prosperity with clear leadership in strategic areas
· Enhancing nuclear security through defense, nonproliferation, and environmental efforts
· Establishing an operational and adaptable framework that combines the best wisdom of all Department stakeholders to maximize mission success
