So the Republican plan is cutting off your nose to spite your face? I’m sure voters will love that. Wonder how many of those projects are in swing states.
Also does the executive branch actually have the power to cancel these grants? I doubt it.
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
Now, that’s not fair. Come on!
They also protest-non-voted for:
- Gestapo in every city
- A federal war on transgendered individuals
- Tariffs on everything and prices skyrocketing
- Corruption the likes of which we’ve never seen
- Firing a sizeable portion of the federal workforce
- Cutting healthcare for those most at-risk
- Gutting education and science
- Rolling back environmental regulations and speed-running climate change
- and more!
Yeah, but something something, my high horse, argle bargle and gEnocIdE jOe, and now I feel so fucking morally superior to everyone else, and I will never, ever apologize for being a complete dumbfuck with my head parked so far up my own ass…
I wonder where Jill Stein is these days?
Until she crawls out for a presidential run in 2028…
The Energy Department said on Wednesday night that it would cancel more than $7.5 billion in Biden-era awards for hundreds of energy projects, with the vast majority located in states led by Democrats.
The move underscored how the Trump administration appeared to be using the government shutdown as a pretext to punish its political opponents. President Trump said this week that if Democrats in Congress did not vote for a funding bill to keep the government open, he would “do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them.”
In its Wednesday announcement, the Energy Department did not specify which projects would see their funding terminated. But according to an agency document reviewed by The New York Times, the list of affected projects include major upgrades to electrical grids in California, Minnesota and Oregon; efforts to reduce methane leaks from oil and gas operations in Colorado; and large hubs to produce clean-burning hydrogen fuels in California and the Pacific Northwest.
The vast majority of the 321 canceled awards would have gone toward projects in those states as well as Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Mexico, New York and Washington, the document showed. Those states all have Democratic governors and senators.
In a news release, the Energy Department said it had determined that the projects “did not adequately advance the nation’s energy needs, were not economically viable, and would not provide a positive return on investment of taxpayer dollars.”
Taco and the Republicans are the actual enemies of the American people. They are harming most of the country when he says he’s trying to harm his “opponents”.
Maybe you should just call it the States of America at this point, but I guess “SA” is already taken by South Africa.
SA is Saudi Arabia. South Africa had to use the Dutch spelling ZA.
Interesting, thanks for letting me know.
