“DOE is thrilled to welcome these extraordinary individuals who are committed to championing climate solutions and delivering on President Biden’s promise of a more prosperous, equitable clean energy future,” DOE Chief of Staff Tarak Shah said in an organization statement.

Although only in existence since 1977, the DOE traces its lineage to the Manhattan Project effort to develop the atomic bomb during World War II, and to the various energy-related programs that had previously been dispersed throughout various Federal agencies, the DOE’s site outlines.
