The Department of Energy has canceled over $7 billion in funding for 223 energy projects, citing a lack of economic viability and failure to address national energy needs. This move, announced during a government shutdown, is framed by the administration as a protection of taxpayer dollars. Critics, however, allege it's a politically motivated act to punish Democratic-led states that previously supported Kamala Harris, coinciding with other funding freezes aimed at Democratic strongholds.
