Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought announced Wednesday that the federal government is cancelling $8 billion in green energy funding amid the Democrat-forced government shutdown.
Vought took to X on Wednesday to announce the cuts after government funding expired early Wednesday morning.
“Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left’s climate agenda is being cancelled,” Vought wrote in a post on X, adding that more details would become available via the Department of Energy.
The cuts are to projects in blue, or blue-leaning states, including:
California Colorado Connecticuit Delaware Hawaii Illinois Maryland Massachusetts Minnesota New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Vermont Washington The move comes after the White House announced earlier Wednesday it was halting $18 billion in infrastructure projects for New York City due to the Democrat shutdown.

I’m with You Fellas.
I am going to have to thank my Senators for the shutdown. Strange when Democrats actual get cuts to green projects thru.
Love this winning
Uh, W.I.N.N.I.N.G!
green energy that destroys all the greenery around us
Problem is now if the CR is passed (which is the Republican position now) this funding all comes back
Is that actually the case? Trump did refer to cuts that would be ‘irreversible’.
Yes, there may be some real gain from this shutdown, for a change!
Get in all of the cuts immediately, while the getting is good.
No cut is irreversible if Congress wants to restore it. Let’s see whether Congress has some real guts. But the Dems at some point will get worried. Maybe that money is not coming back.
Why not cut it for all states, though? Why just the blue ones? No states should be getting any federal money for anything “green energy” related.
Leftist judges going to sit still for this?
I don’t think so, SCOTUS be damned.
Maybe several judges can be impeached during the shutdown.
Yes!!
My local Congress critter , Jen Kiggans (R) , is still pimping windmills that would be located 25 miles out to sea, even though the president had recently cut almost $40 million from the project ! Unbelievable !
