The DOE was designed to carry out its essential mission primarily through its prime contractors. Therefore, the agency’s communication doesn’t capture the complete story of DOE’s great progress as a cohesive organization as its contractors are decentralized. Uniquely, the overall DOE organization is the conglomeration of the federal agency and us—the contractors and subcontractors.

Therefore, as DOE.news launches, we encourage contractors and subcontractors to share their news and achievements to keep this decentralized community current. This integrator approach is the same as us use with DOE.jobs, which brings contractor and subcontractor jobs right beside DOE's prime contractor jobs. 

As Talmon Larmee with Pro2Serve said, our sites are similar to the traffic app Waze in that they need user engagement to provide great data and help each other as the site continues to grow and improve. 

We're using Substack's backbone for ease of use; therefore, while the site is in its infancy, we encourage you to crowdsource our success simply by sharing us, joining us as helping us help you.

The development of LNG export capacity will allow the country to monetize natural gas production that was previously either flared or reinjected into oil wells.
