The budget section here is significantly outdated and I question the value of even including it without updates. I'm a DOE employee and so won't make updates. The latest DOE budget proposal can be found at https://energy.gov/cj (where CJ stands for congressional justification), which will redirect to a page specific to the fiscal year of the most recent budget. Prior year budgets can be found by just changing the fiscal year in the URL that the CJ link redirects to. Within the budget page, the Budget in Brief file presents an overview of the Department's budget, with both tables and (relatively) short narratives. Other files on the site go into more detail.
The last paragraph in the budget section starts out saying "In March 2018, Energy Secretary Rick Perry testified to a Senate panel" and later has some quoted text that seems to me to imply it is quoting something Perry said at the hearing, but looking at the citation, the quote is from the article's summary of the budget request and not from Perry (and to my mind, it is at best a poorly written summary, since starting a new office is not, in itself, an innovation). I think showing it as a quote is misleading. The hearing transcript is at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-115shrg29771/pdf/CHRG-115shrg29771.pdf, if anyone wanted to confirm whether Perry did say it. — Salton Finneger ( talk) 19:43, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
