In under three weeks, President Trump's administration has significantly disrupted the U.S. clean energy sector by freezing federal grants and halting approvals of renewable energy projects. These actions, aimed at cutting climate change funding, disproportionately affect Republican states that have gained from the economic benefits of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which is under threat of repeal. This legislation has attracted over $165 billion in investments for green technology projects, predominantly in Republican districts, fueling a manufacturing boom that could be jeopardized by current policy shifts.
In a quest to eliminate any funding linked to climate change, the Trump administration has frozen federal grants for everything from battery factories to electric school buses.
Roughly 80 percent of those investments are in Republican congressional districts, where they are creating a once-in-a-generation manufacturing boom.
