Apparently these are the labs supported. I know nothing about them but I hope that they are efficient. Looks to me as though we have TOO MANY CHIEFS and not enough INDIANS. Personally, I'd THINK it would be better to skinny them down to something like:
TRANSPORTATION ENERGY LAB
COMMERICIAL ENERGY LAB
NUCLEAR ENERGY LAB
