Most of those "energy" projects under Biden were just a way to funnel money to favored groups or individuals. Think Stacy Abrams and her "energy"project.

How about abolish the DOE itself? It profuces no energy.

[Carl Vehse]

Any chance that the Biden DOE officials who awarded funds for these junk projects will face charges of malfeasance, misfeasance, and/or nonfeasance... or even be fired?!?

[SharpRightTurn]

“The Biden administration was fully committed to unscientific and impoverishing climate alarmism.”

Yes, that whole administration was broken, just like Joe’s brain.

We can hope.

“Wright’s team found that over a fourth (26%) of the 321 terminated financial awards had been awarded between Election Day 2024 and Trump’s Inauguration Day, and were to cost taxpayers no less than $3.1 billion. Fortunately, that outgoing Democrat ploy didn’t succeed.”

Nor produces.

[Fungi]

Thank you....

Department of Education employs no teachers.

Seems like the Department of _______ always becomes the Department Against ______.

[gildafarrell]

Hooray! Cutting the budget under President Trump is the first of its kind in history. The federal govt knows how to increase but this is the first time that it’s actually cutting unwanted and unneeded projects. Mr. President, I salute you.

[WellyP]

We need a complete list of the cancelled projects and which States they are in.

[ProgressingAmerica]

I would like to see a full list of the 220+ items.

[Reily]

It’s not against the law to be stupid.
As long as there’s no acquisition malfeasance there’s probably little legally actionable.

[CFW]

I would like to see the full list as well.

[quantim]

Each one of these projects are the work of a despicable GOPe/uniparty congress, it is they along with rats who gave them the money and why they always do a CR. And oh, these pukes never saw a raise in the debt ceiling they didn’t love either.

[adorno]

Department of Education employs no teachers.

And since the creation of the DOE, education has taken several steps backwards. It should be called the Department to Thwart Education, or the Department of Uneducation, or DDD, Department of Dumbing Down.

[Organic Panic]

Rendering the fat from Stacy a Abrams may have better $5 for lamp,oil. No idea why Biden gave her a few billion.

(Well yes I do)

[Agatsu77]

The article is about the Department of Energy, not education.

[Organic Panic]

We rendered whales for lamp oil. There are quite a few BTUs in that massive land whale

[JZelle]

I worked there as a contractor. They have a full time crew of movers onsite because they “reorganize” so much. The waste and entitlement is unreal.
