Washington — The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it would be canceling $8 billion in climate-related projects in 16 states, the latest funding cut by the administration after the federal government plunged into a shutdown overnight.

Russ Vought, head of the Office of Management and Budget, announced the cancellations on social media and said additional details would be provided by the Department of Energy. All of the states affected by the cuts voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, and all are represented by Democrats in the Senate.



FAFO comes to mind here.

Now I'd be the first to say that, yeah, it's a bit vindictive to target just dem states.

I'll allow it though as deserves has everything to do with it.

The remedy is simple for the dems, reopen the .gov on Tuesday night.

Dem states are up to their eyeballs in dirty money. What better place to start cleaning it up?

 

[wamose]

Democrats want to add 1.2 trillion in wasteful, corrupt spending. Trump's goal should be to cut 1.2 trillion in excess, corrupt spending.

Yep..just another reason China will be cleaning out clocks when it comes to renewables and we are stuck in the past with filthy fossil fuels. No one ever accused MAGAs of giving a damn about the future…well about the future of anyone else but themselves.

8 billion ==> 0.0080 trillion dollars

We need about 1000 more of this kind of thing.

Talk about cognitive dissonance! A poster who calls himself “HikerGuy” ridicules policies that will boost quality of life and the environment and ecology in general. Such is life.

Thank goodness!

That will force you vile dems to go to nuke power.

Egotopia

The worthless but somehow conceited know-it-alls born in the 1% believe that their ignorant self-glorifying ideas should set the stage for the next thousand years of human history.

Where did I write I believe China when it reports it is shutting down it coal plants, you ******* liar.

You really are demented.

China is cleaning our clock when it comes to renewables, and while it is still building coal plants, it is transitioning to renewable energy while morons like yourself support less investment in renewables in this country.

China breaks more records with surge in solar and wind power

Between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, enough to generate as much electricity as Indonesia or Turkey

Same freaking thing, you idiot Commie propaganda suckup.

and one really big one that environmentalists still ***** about.

I keep asking leftists to show me how all those trillions that have been spent on so-called renewable energy, all the draconian rules, regulations, laws in the name of 'green energy' that have restricted our options, choices, opportunity and liberties, etc. have boosted quality of life, helped the environment or ecology in general anywhere other than the very few awarded contracts and licenses to benefit from it. Where has CO2 been reduced by a single identifiable particle anywhere?

So far nobody has been able to come up with anything credible to answer that.

Isn't it time to stop pouring all that wasted money down that rathole and focus on helping humankind adapt constructively to inevitable climate change?
