Under President Trump’s leadership, domestic oil and gas production has achieved record-high levels of output, resulting in lower costs for American families and businesses.
Starting January 22nd, Outlook will display an alert when you try to send an email to someone outside DOE that appears to include sensitive information. This alert gives you a chance to review your message and ensure you are comfortable sharing that information externally.
