:::The EIA is more of an example of [[regulatory capture]], akin to what Robert Kennedy says about the [[FDA]] being captured by [[Big Pharma]]. "Liberals" infiltrated and controlled the agency long before Trump was ever elected. And the point is, EIA is not "captured" by the oil and gas or coal industries.

:::EIA is "captured" by trade and lobbying groups of which companies like [[Solyndra]] are members. Solyndra, you will recall, got $500 million in start up money from the federal government, turned around and donated to the Democratic Party of California, and went bankrupt. Reverting and hiding information on EIA is a disservice to our readers. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Let's Go Brandon!]]</sup> 03:18, April 5, 2022 (EDT)

::::Who are these liberals that ‘infiltrated and controlled the agency long before Trump was ever elected’? I’m not just going to take your word. If I were to say the EIA was infiltrated by conservatives, I’m sure you’d want more than just my word. If I shouldn’t reference the EIA for information on energy statistics, do you have a recommendation? Solyndra also donated to the GOP, why are you hiding this information? [https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2011/09/solar-company-solyndra-rising-star/] I’d also like to point out the DOE loan program is showing a profit despite the well-publicized bankruptcies.
