WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has announced the cancellation of $7.6 billion in funding for clean energy projects across 16 states. The cuts likely affect battery plants, hydrogen technology projects, and more. The announcement came on the first day of a government shutdown. The Republican administration claims the projects do not align with national energy needs. Critics argue the move is politically motivated and could raise energy costs.
