The Trump administration's decision to cut $3.7 billion in funding for 24 clean energy projects has drawn ire from California Democrats. This funding, initiated under the Biden administration, was aimed at advancing critical carbon capture and decarbonization initiatives necessary for achieving climate targets. Officials stated that the terminated projects do not meet current American energy needs and lack a positive return on investment, leading to the push for a careful review of taxpayer expenditures under the Department of Energy.
One of the largest cuts was a $500-million award for the National Cement Company of California, geared toward developing carbon-neutral cement, capturing 1 million tons of CO2 per year.
