Well, actually, the Dept. of Energy was mostly formed from the Atomic Energy
Commission, then becoming the Atomic Energy Agency. Those were more focused
on nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons production facilities. So, there
was a LOT of back story before the oil independence stuff was added in by
Carter.

Actually between AEC and DOE was ERDA - Energy Research and
Development Agency.

Right,, this agency probably has been through more names than most, with the
possible exception of the "black chamber".

Ray, read what Jon & John wrote (I was hoping and expecting that Ed H. would weigh in here).

Slowly...slowly let it sink in.

Now, kick yourself in the ass because you're nothing more than a bull**** rabble rouser who posts the most outlandish garbage as "facts" in the hopes that you mindless idiots will be inflamed by it.
