President Donald Trump is looking to make even more cuts to funding designated for green energy projects. 

This, according to News Nation, comes after Trump and his administration recently cut about $8 billion in green funding.

Trump, clearly, is looking to do to the Democrats' "climate change" agenda what he did to their "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" agenda, namely, finish it off.

Background

In case you missed it, the Trump administration has already cut some $8 billion in federal funding that had been designated for green energy projects. This took place earlier this month.

White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought announced:

Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled. More info to come from @ENERGY. The projects are in the following states: CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA

The Associated Press covered this story.

At the time, it provided more details on the cuts, writing:

The Energy Department said in a statement Thursday that 223 projects were terminated after a review determined they did not adequately advance the nation’s energy needs or were not economically viable. Officials did not provide details about which projects are being cut, but said funding came from the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, and other DOE bureaus.

Now, it would appear that more cuts are on the way.

The latest

News Nation provides the details on further cuts that the Trump administration is looking to make to green energy projects.

Per the outlet:

The Trump administration is eyeing additional major cuts to green energy projects beyond the billions of dollars it has already halted. A list circulated in Washington this week and reviewed by news outlets including The Hill detailed billions in further projects whose funds could be on the chopping block. It comes on top of $7.6 billion in cuts announced last week and $3.7 billion announced earlier in the year.

The outlet notes that "the Energy Department says no final decisions have been made on which additional projects to cut."

But, it adds, "Secretary Chris Wright has said his department plans to cancel additional funding issued for green projects under the last administration."

None of this should come as a surprise to anyone, as this is something that Trump vowed to do on the campaign trail.
