Energy Department spent $21 MILLION sponsoring conferences over 16 months, including some with golf tournaments, a Super Bowl party, and a NASCAR dinner



The U.S. Department of Energy paid more than $21 million sponsoring 329 conferences over just 16 months during 2013 and 2014, including some that featured golf tournaments, 'casino night' promotions, lavish dinners and a Super Bowl party.



The agency's Inspector General issued a report Feb. 11 describing the 'social events that in our view could lead to negative public perceptions.'



Other social events associated with Energy Department conferences included dinners on a cruise boat, at an aquarium, and at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
