To commemorate National Energy Action Month, we’re featuring some scarily effective ways to save energy at home. As cooler weather lurks around the corner, tune in to Energy.gov for ways to save energy and money -- and avoid cold weather terrors like energy vampires. We also put together some energy-themed pumpkin patterns to help “energize” your neighborhood for Halloween. Send us photos of your energy-themed jack-o-lanterns via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or email at newmedia@hq.doe.gov and we'll share our favorites.
It turns out our National Labs are home to more than just scientists. Long the subject of legend, we’ve finally captured on camera the creatures lurking in the shadows of our particle accelerators and fusion facilities.
Wander through the photo gallery -- if you dare -- to come face to face with the [spooky voice] Creatures of the National Labs. Trust me...you’ll want to make it to the end.
