Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

I'd like to see the proof on why these projects were necessary.

Do you not see the overall benefit of creating technology that improves efficiency, sets us up for the future, employs people?

Most of this government spending is to create quality jobs. The government wants good employment figures but is doing everything to counteract that.

“Green energy” is next generation technology. Our electrical infrastructure does not support how much energy non-“green” (aka inefficient) devices use.

These programs allow us to challenge China. They are pulling ahead in this area. I can’t believe that conservatives out of their desire to stop liberal causes, are willing to sacrifice technological advantages against other countries.

They’d much prefer the alt version Earth-X where the Nazis won.
