DOE Climate Assessment Report: Feedback
Posted on September 2, 2025 by curryja 
by Judith Curry

A month has passed since the DOE climate assessment report was published.  It’s time to reflect on what we might learn from the responses to this Report.  Of particular relevance is the report that was issued earlier today, led by Andrew Dessler.


Public comments

The public comment portal for the DOE Report was open for 30 days, and closes on Sept 2 (today).  So far there are >2300  comments submitted, with several hundred currently visible on the Federal Register site.  The comments are being scrubbed for obscenities, etc.  I tried reading through the comments, the portal is awkward (each comment has to be clicked on separately, unlike this blog post).  Most of the comments that I’ve looked at are non-substantive cheerleading, attacks or general posturing.  It will take time to go through all of these to separate an expected small amount of wheat from the large amount of chaff.

Carbon Brief

One of the early criticisms was that the DOE Report “mis-cited” a paper by Zeke Hausfather by reproducing a diagram from one of his papers, while failing to mention some of the broader points made in his paper (sorry Zeke, that’s not how it works).

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why is DOE issuing Climate reports?  Shouldn't that be the EPA's and NOAA's job.

DOE should be pursuing newer nuclear fission technologies and fuels to increase American electricity generation capacity; and neutron bombs to do all the destruction, but without all that residual radiation.

Good question.
