Description (excerpt):
With the departure of the private sector from many aspects of basic and applied energy research, many have looked to the Department of Energy’s national laboratories to fill the void. As policymakers debate the appropriate role for government in support of innovation, questions often arise about the basic capabilities of the Department of Energy (DOE) and its laboratories. This paper explores DOE’s role and structure and the opportunity to fundamentally reshape the department in ways that could significantly improve its effectiveness.
