Department of Energy in Texas

A thin Energy file on a Texas tag

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Texas as place-of-performance: 642 records summing to $6,055,634,912.71. A Department of Energy award coded outside TX is out. An award in Texas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Texas (TX) excludes New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. A Los Alamos-coded award is New Mexico, not this cell.

Six hundred forty-two awards against $6,055,634,912.71 is a thin, high-mean Energy pattern. One restatement can move the mean quickly. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 642 as 642 unique kilowatt-hours, named laboratories, or unique contractors. The overlay Department of Energy in Texas is the both-keys table. Texas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without a TX filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Pantex, national labs, or grid operators. Facility folklore is a different extract. Correlation is not causation: Texas did not “cause” $6,055,634,912.71 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × TX only.

Not a lab roster or a kWh dashboard

$6,055,634,912.71 does not measure kilowatt-hours, named laboratories, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and a TX place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 642 awards as a census of kilowatt-hours, named laboratories, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Texas federal spending or Department of Energy matched $6,055,634,912.71 and 642, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.
