Wyden and Merkley urge restoration of $8 billion for canceled energy projects, citing job losses and political bias.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, alongside multiple Senate colleagues, are urging the Trump administration to restore $8 billion in funding for 223 energy projects that were reportedly canceled unlawfully. They assert these cancellations will have significant negative impacts, including loss of jobs in 21 states, especially those led by Democratic officials.
The senators addressed their concerns in a letter to the Department of Energy and the Office of Management and Budget, stating, "These are impacts that will be felt by Americans, regardless of their political views." They emphasized the importance of restoring the appropriated funds to uphold the rule of law and benefit the American public.
The demand was part of a broader criticism of the Republican-led efforts that the senators claim have contributed to a national energy crisis, particularly affecting renewable energy initiatives. This letter is supported by numerous Democratic senators, highlighting a collective push for accountability in energy funding decisions.
