💨 Abstract

The U.S. Department of Energy's internal watchdog will investigate the Trump administration's decision to terminate $7.6 billion in clean energy grants for projects in 16 states that voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Democrats argue that these cuts, which threaten jobs and energy costs, were politically motivated and unlawful. The audit will review if the cancellations followed established criteria and complied with laws and regulations.
