    1. Because ethics, morality and a unified nation aren’t cool enough for today’s Republican party

    2. Earlier this month, the administration cancelled $7.6 billion in grants that supported hundreds of clean energy projects in 16 states, all of which voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in last year’s presidential election.

      Because of who the states ultimately voted for. Totally political. Absolutely no basis in science, fact, or reality.

    3. Blue state are incapable of handling big projects. High speed rail to no where, rebuild after fires in LA. to name a couple.

  1. One of the most blatantly biased articles that the IBJ has cut and pasted. No wonder newspapers are going under. Print the news in a factual and unbiased way. It is not that hard.

    1. I guess of you don’t like the facts and the direct quotes, it’s “fake news”?

      Since the executive branch shifts money on a whim with no input from congress, it seems reasonable to report on the projects cut and why as well as the ones that actually got funded.

    2. So out of all of that, THIS is what you had an issue with? “Thursday’s announcement deepens the Trump administration’s commitment to traditional, polluting energy sources even as it works to discourage the U.S. from clean energy use.” Because coal pollutes and you think that is a political statement? Pollution doesn’t have an R or a D. Just like potholes. Pollution negatively impacts everyone, regardless of who they vote for. Science. You have a problem with the IBJ reporting science. How is that biased?

    3. First, its not IBJ reporting, it’s a cut and paste from AP.

      It is interesting how many people are fooled by “clean” energy. Wind Turbines and solar are not clean, from their manufacture to their final disposal. When you include the batteries needed to try to store the energy, clean energy is downright dirty. But leave it to the MSM to ignore that part.

      They call Trumps bill “massive tax and spending bill”. Ironically they never used that terminology on Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which was a massive tax and spending bill, but had nothing to do with Inflation Reduction.

      To bring in dirty versus clean energy, really wasn’t part of this story. The story was about much needed upgrades to transmission lines. Once produced, electricity isn’t clean or dirty, it’s electricity. The electricity running through these lines will be from “clean” and “dirty” sources. The author of the article just wanted to inject their politics.

      While “clean” energy has its place, until they find a way to manufacture and dispose of turbines and solar in a clean way, and find a way to store solar and wind in a efficient and clean way, it will remain dirty energy.
