Multiple States Join Forces to Sue Trump Administration Over Canceled Clean Energy Funding

A coalition of thirteen states, including California, Colorado, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, and New York, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for allegedly unlawfully terminating billions in clean energy funding. The lawsuit challenges cuts that adversely affect energy and infrastructure projects in Democratic-led states, claiming improper cancellation of over $1.2 billion meant for clean hydrogen and other energy initiatives. As the administration is accused of favoring climate projects in red states while cutting funds in blue states, the legal battle underscores ongoing tensions over energy policy and funding equity.
