DOE admite cancelación de $7 mil millones de subvenciones por motivos políticos

Política

El Departamento de Energía de EE.  UU. declaró en un documento judicial federal del 26 de julio que la terminación, en octubre de 2025, de más de $7 mil millones en subvenciones de energía limpia se basó exclusivamente en si los estados beneficiarios habían votado por el presidente Trump.

Informes judiciales citados por NBC News mostraron que el departamento canceló 284 subvenciones de investigación federales en estados que apoyaron a Trump. Posteriormente, AP News informó que documentos judiciales revelaron que la administración detuvo $7,6 mil millones en financiación de energía limpia para proyectos en 16 estados que respaldaron la fórmula demócrata, contradiciendo las explicaciones económicas previas. CNN señaló que el departamento recomendó cancelar cientos de subvenciones en estados que votaron por la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris, citando la afiliación política.
