U.S. DOE Announces Termination of 223 Clean Energy Projects
(MENAFN) The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced on Thursday the termination of 223 projects, predominantly focused on clean energy and renewable technologies funded during the Biden administration.
In a statement, the DOE revealed it had reviewed 321 financial awards supporting these projects and decided to end funding for those that "failed to meet the economic, national security or energy security standards necessary to justify continued investment."
Russell Vought, the White House budget director, weighed in on the decision via X, stating: "Nearly 8 billion dollars in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."
This move echoes actions taken in late May when the Trump administration cut funding for 24 emerging energy technology initiatives.
The recent cancellations occur amid a broader funding freeze linked to a federal government shutdown. According to local media, this freeze has stalled approvals for new wind and solar projects, while oil and gas activities continue, financed by carryover funds.
