💨 Abstract

Energy Secretary Chris Wright has canceled nearly $4 billion in clean energy project grants, primarily focused on carbon capture and storage, issued during the previous administration. The move has sparked criticism from environmental and economic groups, who argue it hinders U.S. competitiveness and undermines efforts to address climate change. The cancellation is part of the current administration's broader review of funded projects and effort to trim federal support for clean energy initiatives, instead prioritizing oil and gas production.
