United States Department of Energy

The United States Department of Energy is like a big organization that helps our country figure out how to use energy in a good way. Energy is what makes things go - it helps our cars run and our lights turn on. But sometimes using too much energy can be bad for the environment, like when we use too much gas or electricity and it creates pollution. The Department of Energy helps us figure out ways to use energy that are good for the environment and don't use up too much of our resources. They also help make sure we have enough energy for everyone and that we are using it in safe ways. It's a very important job!
