I don’t think the Energy Department is canceling funding. I think Trump and his cronies are canceling it.
Sounds like the brightest President of my lifetime and his cronies are making the wisest of decision for America and the planet.
I just love this amount of pure uneducated, ignorance.
I am an old guy. These guys are arrogant old guys.
Young women and men, kick the old guys out who are this selfishly ignorant.
They know better. They are just selfish and think the young are asleep and ignorant.
Vote this arrogance out!
So much for that energy emergency
let’s put some money into steam tech
So much for lower energy prices
Outrageously stupid. China and rest of world move forward while we burn coal. Ugh.
Didn’t Trump also put an end to a wind farm which was something like 85% complete?
While I don’t agree with a single energy position this administration has taken, canning $7.5B of hydrogen and DAC projects might kinda be smart climate policy…
– Many hydrogen hubs were built on fantasies of hydrogen transport that defy physics and sit on stubborn cost curves.
– Rather, batteries have proven very cost-effective to charge from excess renewable energy (hybrid plants), scale well, and cost curve is dropping nicely.
– DAC today is also basically nonsense. A landmark project (Climeworks plant) hasn’t even been a net absorber of CO2. DAC belongs in the lab—focused on novel approaches, not premature million-ton deployments. We need to know what works in 2050, not waste tons of money now
Trump helping China become a solar power
Can’t wait for the DIY coal furnace kits to hit the market
How about cancelling a couple of hundred billion in tax breaks for billionaires? How about cancelling a few billion in subsidies for oil companies?
Good, America let this happen,
they can pay for more expensive energy for years to come,
sucks that such a “developed nation” doesn’t see the path to renewables as the path, but hey how will coal and gas companies make all their money.
Maybe more data centers will help
The American Century is over
Losing the electrification war against China. Losers on clean energy. Shame on the government to target the approved funding and Democrats states
That money’s for Argentina
