DOE gives consumers info on energy issues
Do your customers need a good resource for information on energy? Send them to www.energy.gov, the U.S. Department of Energy's new consumer Web site. It contains energy information from A to Z-literally! An alphabetical index is just one feature of this useful site.
The main menu in the upper left corner of the page connects to information on energy and health, your home, transportation, schools, business, community, the world, and the future. There's even a "kidz zone" that helps children understand how energy affects their lives.The site also features information on energy efficiency, environmental quality, science and technology, and energy's roles in national security. A "featured site" link take visitors to specific pages or publications.
The site makes a good link for any utility's Web site. Stop by and take a look.
