"The cuts represent another front in the Trump administration’s battle to exert more control over congressionally approved spending."
"The Trump administration is diverting federal funds away from the Energy Department’s wind, solar and electric vehicles programs, despite the spending levels set under the current congressionally passed budget, according to a document posted on the agency’s website.
The DOE spending plan reveals sharp reductions for clean energy for the fiscal year 2025, a move Democrats said defies the spending law (H.R. 1968)(119)) that President Donald Trump signed in March that kept funding levels across the federal government unchanged from the previous fiscal year.
It is unclear what authority Trump or DOE are employing for the cuts, but the Government Accountability Office has said the Trump administration has previously violated the 51-year-old Impoundment Control Act. That law prevents presidents from withholding funding Congress has approved."
