Never Heard of BOEMRE...?

BOEMRE is the United States Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement.

Since 2004 they have, according to the Associated Press, received more than $50,000,000 in taxpayer-provided research money - in addition to the Bureau's regular allocation of taxpayer money.

I'm curious to know how one manages, regulates or enforces the ocean's energy.

I'm also curious to know why we're paying for this, when we face imminent default on our debt.  Maybe we ought to do what "real" companies do in similar situations.  They start cutting non-essential staff and activities.

We could start with BOEMRE.  (And the Departments of Energy and Education.)
