- Energy.gov, the agency Web site, is good for Joe Q. Public looking for general information about energy power and policy. If you want to do business with the agency, however, that is a different story. The Web site is not organized in a way that makes it easy for users to find what they're looking for. For instance, "e-Center: Business Opportunities with Energy" is buried in the "A-Z Index" under "D" for "Department of Energy." Finding basic information about the Energy Department, such as when it was founded and how many people work for it, took digging and a lot of time.
- The Energy Department's fiscal 2002 budget has not yet been approved, as is the case with several federal agencies. In the budget, the department is going for a big cash boost for national security: $7.2 billion in 2002, an increase of $180.5 million.
