Trump's 2027 budget would cut billions from clean energy and climate programs while boosting military spending
"President Trump is committed to eliminating funding for the globalist climate agenda while unleashing American energy production, as stated by the White House regarding the budget proposal."
"It's just an out-of-touch plea for more money for guns and bombs, and less for the things people need, like housing, healthcare, education, roads, scientific research, and environmental protection, said Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley."
"The proposed cancellation of more than $15 billion in Department of Energy funds targets programs for unreliable renewable energy, removing carbon dioxide from the air, and other costly technologies."
The Trump administration's 2027 budget proposal includes substantial cuts to clean energy programs, totaling $15 billion, and aims to reduce the Environmental Protection Agency's budget by half. The proposal emphasizes a record $1.5 trillion defense budget while seeking to eliminate funding for climate initiatives. The administration's stance is to oppose the 'green agenda' and promote American energy production. Environmental groups and Democrats have expressed strong opposition to the proposed cuts, arguing they detract from essential services like healthcare and education.
