Government jobs in energy

The private sector is not the only sector that employs people for jobs in energy. The public sector (government) is one of the major employers in this industry. My job, for example, is a local government job that devotes half of my time to energy (the other half to ICT--Information & Communications Technology--and sometimes they overlap).

Here's a partial list of governmental entities, in addition to local/state/federal legislators and their aides, that employ people for energy jobs, whether these jobs focus solely, or only in part, on energy:
