flag The U.S. will return $13B in clean energy funds, shifting focus to fossil fuels under Trump’s administration.

flag The U.S. Department of Energy plans to return $13 billion in unobligated funds originally allocated for Biden-era clean energy programs, citing fiscal responsibility and a shift toward fossil fuel and energy independence priorities under the Trump administration. flag Energy Secretary Chris Wright labeled the previous climate initiatives a "Green New Scam," claiming they led to inflated spending, higher energy costs, and minimal results. flag The move, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, redirects funds to taxpayers and aligns with broader efforts to rescind unspent appropriations. flag While the administration argues the action supports affordable and reliable energy, critics warn it undermines U.S. clean energy competitiveness and could harm job growth in renewable sectors, despite a 2024 study showing clean energy jobs grew three times faster than the overall workforce. flag Wright stated he has no plans to attend the upcoming UN climate summit in Brazil.
