U.S. Department of Energy Launches the "Energy Blog," Twitter Stream, & Facebook Page

The social media from the U.S. Government keeps coming.

In the first post on the Energy Blog, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, writes,

We’re introducing the Energy Blog at a critical moment for the Department. From our program offices to our national laboratories to our field offices, we are driving innovation to create a new, clean energy economy that will spark job creation and reduce our dependence on oil, while cutting our greenhouse gas emissions. We are also meeting the critical responsibilities of reducing nuclear dangers and environmental risks. At the core of all our work is a commitment to lead the world in science, technology and engineering and expand the frontiers of knowledge.

While the act of starting a blog is hardly novel, it is a first for us and part of our commitment to achieving the level of transparency, engagement, and accessibility that you should expect from your government. This past year, I’ve enjoyed building relationships around DOE’s mission on my personal Facebook page and the Department’s YouTube and Flickr pages. I’m excited that we are also launching DOE on Facebook and Twitter today.

Our goal is to use the Energy Blog and our other social media outlets to show you who we are, what we do, and why it matters to you, while allowing you to connect with us in new and creative ways.
