About us
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management's (EM) mission is to address the nation’s Cold War environmental legacy resulting from decades of nuclear weapons production and government-sponsored nuclear energy research. This legacy includes some of the world’s most dangerous radioactive sites with large amounts of radioactive wastes, spent nuclear fuel, excess plutonium and uranium, thousands of contaminated facilities, and contaminated soil and groundwater. Created in 1989, EM has the responsibility for completing the cleanup of this Cold War legacy and managing the remaining nuclear materials. As the largest environmental cleanup program in the world, EM has been charged with the responsibility of cleaning up 107 sites across the country whose area is equal to the combined area of Rhode Island and Delaware. EM has made substantial progress in nearly every area of nuclear waste cleanup and has completed cleanup at 92 of these sites.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) goes under the hood to take a look at something all EVs share in common — a battery. Check it out ⬇️
If you want to learn about batteries and the clean energy transition, you’re in the right place. How are we working to meet the demand for batteries? How are we making them better and cheaper while using less critical minerals? How will batteries help meet the nation’s goal to get to net-zero carbon emissions? Get those answers and more from our newest podcast episode, “Fully Charged: How Batteries Are Combatting the Climate Crisis (Part 2)” 🎧Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eP79Z8aP Part 1: https://lnkd.in/erFttbUx

Built nearly 100 years ago, the Hoover Dam is a hallmark of big and bold action in the U.S. We invested in America then and, under the Biden-Harris Administration, we’re investing in America now. By 2030, we expect to add the equivalent of over 300 Hoover Dams-worth of clean energy to our grid.
