The Department of Energy is set to make significant funding cuts to hydrogen energy projects, particularly affecting those in predominantly Democratic states. A leaked list indicates that around 80% of the projects on the DOE’s proposed cut list are located in states that did not support Trump in the 2024 election. Among the affected projects are the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs, aimed at developing sustainable hydrogen energy to replace fossil fuels. In contrast, hydrogen projects in Republican states appear to be safeguarded from these budgetary cuts, highlighting a concerning political bias in energy funding allocations.
Roughly 80% of projects on a 'kill list' from DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy are located in Democratic states, signaling a disproportionate impact based on politics.
The Department of Energy may pull funding from hundreds of projects, many inspired by Biden's bipartisan infrastructure law, impacting climate-friendly initiatives primarily in blue states.
