Cuts will be applied to renewable energy funding, solar and wind farm financing, and climate crisis initiatives across federal government programs.

From Reuters:

The White House said the energy budget proposal cancels more than $15 billion in carbon capture and renewable energy funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law that former President Joe Biden, a Democrat, signed in 2021. It also proposes to cancel $6 billion from that law for EV chargers.

“The Biden Administration spent more than three years implementing these programs, but built only a small number of chargers because it prioritized over-regulating and ‘climate justice’ goals,” the White House said. “EV chargers should be built just like gas stations: with private sector resources disciplined by market forces.”

The plan reorients Energy Department funding toward research and development of technologies that could produce an abundance of oil, gas, coal and critical minerals, nuclear reactors and advanced nuclear fuels, the White House said without further details.

The budget is meant to lay out an administration’s policies, and what lawmakers ultimately adopt often differs from the White House request. It was not immediately clear how Congress would agree to cut funding approved in bipartisan law that is popular in many Republican districts. Congress would likely have to pass legislation such as rescissions or amendments.

The plan would cut $80 million in Interior Department renewable energy programs including offshore wind energy projects.

Biden pledged 500,000 EV charging stations by 2030, but with five years left, only 7 are built. It’s reasonable to eliminate this from the federal budget. Best of all, President Trump’s proposed budget slashes the EPA’s funding by roughly 55%, or $5 billion, compared to its 2025 budget, targeting eco-activist programs.

Trump’s budget prioritizes reducing focus on climate crisis pseudoscience while bolstering industries vital to American security and prosperity in other agencies.

The National Science Foundation funds much of the US’s fundamental science research, like physics and astronomy. Earlier reporting that it would see a 56 percent cut to its budget was confirmed. …

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration would see $1.3 billion of its $6.6 billion budget cut, with the primary target being its climate change work. …

The National Institute of Standards and Technology would lose $350 million for similar reasons. “NIST has long funded awards for the development of curricula that advance a radical climate agenda,” the document suggests, before going on to say that the Institute’s Circular Economy Program, which promotes the efficient reuse of industrial materials, “pushes environmental alarmism.” …

The Department of Energy is seeing a $1.1 billion hit to its science budget, “eliminating funding for Green New Scam interests and climate change-related activities.” The DOE will also take hits to policy programs focused on climate change, including $15 billion in cuts to renewable energy and carbon capture spending. …

Hopefully, the President will succeed in getting his proposed budget through Congress.
