The White House’s 2027 budget proposal would cut over $15B from clean energy programs. (E&E News)
The budget request takes aim at Biden-era energy programs not yet erased by the Trump administration. It would 1) cancel $15.2B in funds for DOE renewable energy and carbon capture projects and 2) funnel $3.5B from clean energy to “energy dominance” efforts (including $1.2B for AI supercomputers at national labs).
Yes, but: It isn’t binding and would need bipartisan support to pass. For reference, Congress ignored most of Trump’s asks last year (including a proposed 55% EPA cut, which Congress shrank to 4%).
