Energy discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Energy's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Conducts research and development to unleash America's hydrocarbon and geothermal resources through the Offices of Coal, Oil and Gas, and Geothermal, partnering with industry to improve recovery, reliability, and baseload power generation.
Extracted from Energy Programs, p. 17. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
