The Energy Department is slashing nearly $24 billion of funding for climate projects, as the Trump administration moves to further unwind Biden-era climate policies

The Energy Department's decision to cut nearly $24 billion in funding for climate projects marks a significant shift in U.S. policy, particularly as it affects both Republican and Democratic-led states. This move builds on previous cuts exceeding $7 billion, primarily targeting Democratic-led areas, and raises concerns about the future of climate initiatives in the country. As the Trump administration continues to unwind Biden-era climate policies, the implications for environmental progress and state-level projects could be profound, potentially stalling advancements in renewable energy and climate resilience.
