Beginning in fiscal year 2023, the Department of Energy will require applicants for research funding to explain how their research projects will incorporate the tenets of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
According to the Department of Energy website, applicants will be required to attach a “Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research (PIER) Plan” to their funding application in which they will “describe the activities and strategies” they’ll rely on “to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in their research projects.”

A wonderful way to pollute science and research with a social experiment doomed to fail.

Oh great! Less science and productivity, more virtue signaling.
Malinvestment brings capital destruction brings loss of production from the capital destruction brings loss of societal well being.
Oh well, none of The Gullibles will notice until the brownouts affect them along with the loss of other goods and services.
In the meantime they know they’re wonderful!

Great, unqualified people running nuclear power programs! Just like Biden controlling nuclear codes. What could go wrong?

If DOE is not looking for the most qualified applicants then the program should be defunded.

I look forward to a House hearing in January, the subject of which is why the DOE should continue to exist.

I foresee a new class of corrupt consultants who can produce winning DEI statements for a hefty price.

And the next step will be to require that applicants must use renewable energy sources to produce their grant requests. I have lots of candles I could sell to them.

They really ought to rename them the "DIE" plans because they're going to kill a lot of companies and a lot of personal initiative because of the inherent racism favoring certain races over quality of work regardless of the race of those performing it.

And the left's ever present drift, or actually, these days, headlong rush into mediocrity. I'm not having an affirmative action person do anything for me, never mind surgery.

Glad you asked, Energy Dept, realizing you are headed by a nutcase, so here is the needed response: Discoveries from research benefit everyone. That is the DEI plan. I hope this has helped you, if that is possible.

This entire DEI, SEL, ESG, CRT toxicity must end. It is crippling this country and especially its military. Now the Dept. of energy is adopting this sh—. If the election turns out the way we want, one of the first things I want to see is the prohibition of DEI and all its permutations. It’s racist and it’s evil.

The idiocy involved here is beyond comprehension. So a research team believes they can develop cold fusion and Biden admin will tell them, "Sorry, you're not diverse enough."
