Trump’s legal victory strikes blow to U.S. clean energy push
Description
The Trump administration secured a major legal victory this week after a federal appeals court ruled that EPA can cancel $20 billion in Biden-era clean energy funding. However, the courtroom fight is far from over. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén breaks down the ruling, how the legal saga will continue, and what this means for America’s clean energy future. Plus, a top official at the Interior Department said the agency is prioritizing permits for new fossil fuel generation over renewable energy because it has limited staff and resources to review the projects.
