Energy Department scuttles $3.7B in clean-energy projects. It’s among the biggest and most specific cases yet of Trump pulling the plug on the Biden awards for low-carbon energy. “The abrupt termination of $3.7 billion in clean energy investment is shortsighted and malicious.”

I have long been a skeptic when it comes to carbon capture technology. Isn’t it just an excuse to keep burning fossil fuels? The only reason to care about developing CC & S is to reduce emissions. But the US doesn’t care about that anymore. So will stopping the funding for such projects even matter?
