US Department of Energy Fails Its Own Energy Audit
Aahhh, you gotta love government.

The US Department of Energy has spent the past several months in promotion and funding of renewable energy and efficiency, yet it still manages to set a less-than-stalwart example as it fails its own energy audit.

The 21-page energy audit (pdf) by the DOE's Office of Inspector General specifies several sectors where the department's own buildings, though equipped for efficient management, are not being utilized in such a manner. In particular, the Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration, and the Y-12 National Security Complex came under particular scrutiny.
