President Trump and Director Vought Terminate Blue State Energy Projects, Raising Prices for Consumers, Eliminating Jobs

**NEW FACT SHEET** LIST OF PROJECTS CANCELED BY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 

WASHINGTON — Today, House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) and Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member Marcy Kaptur (D-OH-09) released a breakdown by Congressional District of the energy projects terminated by President Trump and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought. 

The canceled projects total $8 billion in lawfully approved funding targeting 16 Democratic-led states, and impacting 136 Congressional Districts, 108 of which are represented by Democrats and 28 by Republicans. 

Vought canceled these projects despite the fact that DOE currently remains open and fully operational using unexpired financial resources.

“This is a shameless and vindictive attack by Director Vought, which will eliminate jobs and raise energy costs for Americans across the country,” said House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro. “This was obviously designed as a political attack by the White House targeting Democrats. But the sad reality is that Americans—the middle class, working class, and vulnerable—who voted for both Democrats and Republicans will be hurt by this. This is divisive, it is petty, and unfortunately it is exactly what we have come to expect from President Trump and Russ Vought.”

“This week’s termination of energy projects is reckless and short-sighted — it will raise energy prices for working families, kill good-paying American jobs, and cede global clean-energy leadership to Communist China,” said House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development Ranking Member Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. “This is political theater, not sound policy. Congress must defend communities and investments in our future — not cave to partisan threats. If we abandon an all of the above energy strategy, the American people will suffer.”
