"Most of DOE's Home Page Erased After Inauguration"

"Shortly after President Trump's swearing in Friday, most of the content on the Department of Energy's home page disappeared into the ether.

The changeover was much more abrupt than the transition between presidents George W. Bush and Obama in 2009. Back then, the incoming administration dropped in a photo of the new Energy secretary, Steven Chu, and added a small box giving an overview of Obama's energy plan. (See the before and after.)

The Trump administration's DOE immediately removed most of the elements of the home page, including blog entries, news updates, information boxes and a video."

David Ferris and Mike Lee report for EnergyWire January 23, 2017.
