DOE Cancels $7.56B in Climate Projects, Calls It ‘Green New Scam’

The Energy Department just yanked $7.56 billion in clean energy cash from 223 projects faster than you can say ‘climate emergency.’ This purge hit states practically mastered by Kamala Harris fans — CA, CO, NY, WA — and scrapped funding for fancy-sounding offices like Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, which sounds like NASA’s nerdier cousin. The kicker? 26% of these awards were handed out in that sacred twilight zone between Election Day and Inauguration Day, suggesting some deadline panic, or possibly someone bumped the ‘go’ button way too early. White House budget chief Russ Vought called it the ‘Green New Scam,’ while Senator Patty Murray accused the administration of throwing jobs into the bonfire and sky-rocketing energy bills. DOE says the projects lacked ROI and rushed like your cousin’s final election night binge-buying spree. Awardees have 30 days to sue, complain, or cry into their sustainably sourced coffee.

DOE cancels nearly $8B in clean energy projects because half were spooked by Election Day. Budget chief calls it ‘Green New Scam,’ Democrats say it’s a job-killing energy bill grenade. Clean tech? More like clean exit strategy.

The Energy Department just ghosted $7.56 billion in green projects faster than my last Tinder date, citing ‘not economically viable’—which we all know means ‘not sitting well with the new boss.’

26% of these green grants were distributed between Election Day and Inauguration Day. Even the DOE admits they rushed it like a Black Friday sale on capitalism’s last clean vodka shot.
