Trump administration policies that scaled back federal support for clean energy have led to the cancellation ​or delay of $83 billion in investment across hundreds of projects, ‌according to a report released on Tuesday by labor and environmental coalition BlueGreen Alliance.

The report was unveiled as labor leaders prepared to meet with U.S. senators on ​Tuesday to discuss the clean energy workforce.

The analysis found that ​223 manufacturing and clean energy projects representing $82.9 billion in investment ⁠and 111,765 jobs have stalled or been cancelled during Donald Trump's ​second presidency.
...
Separately, the report said that 3,034 manufacturing, energy and industrial ⁠projects ​face stricter tax credit eligibility requirements under ​Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, putting an estimated $695.2 billion in investment and nearly 1.2 ​million projected jobs at risk.

1. A Very Worthwhile Few Paragraphs To Contemplate

Detailed is an other-worldly amount of investment dollars that will (most likely) never be spent and an untold number of jobs never to be created.

2. Misleading headline. Trmp has only ***ANTI***-clean energy policies.

Exception: he blindly supports nuclear power, because it's ... well ... the big, tough, macho thing that manly men do. Right outcome (more or less), wrong reason. Even a blind nut finds a squirrel now and then.

3. "Trump clean energy policies" - perfect example of an oxymoron

4. That is criminal.

5. Republicans will justify literally any insanity with "But look at all the JOBS it will create!"...yet here they are

trying to strangle the entire clean energy industry (which also happens to be quite financially successful) to death entirely out of spite, for purely ideological reasons. It's as hypocritical as it is crazy.
