Senators Demand Restored Energy Funds | Dover News

Democratic senators including Chris Coons and Lisa Blunt Rochester are demanding the restoration of slashed energy funds, accusing the previous administration of politically targeting states like Delaware based on election results and senatorial party affiliation. Court filings reveal hundreds of clean energy grants were canceled last year, disproportionately affecting states with Democratic leadership and opposition presidential votes — including Delaware, California, and Maryland. Projects at institutions like the University of Delaware and companies like Chemours were hit, sparking outrage over what critics call a punitive, partisan approach to federal funding. The senators argue this undermines the rule of law and federal fairness, echoing past threats to Delaware’s education and immigration policies. They’re pushing for immediate reinstatement of these funds to protect jobs and economic stability. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
