One of my favorite science websites is Anthony Watts' Watts Up With That. It is not just me - it has been voted Best Science Blog by several respected organizations from 2008 through 2013.
Someone sent this email to Anthony:
Hi Anthony
I would like to let you know that the Department of Energy has blocked access to your site on all DOE computers. I can not access it on my organization’s network nor on DOE wifi.
Other sites such as Bishop Hill and Climate Audit are still available.
My guess is that you have been identified as a threat to the administration. Perhaps it is a sign of your success!
No followup as yet but this will be interesting if proven true. DOE has a long history of promoting questionable and overly expensive alt.energy scams - Solyndra is a perfect example with $525 million dollars of our money wasted on a really stupid idea.
