Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that his department will return over $13 billion in unobligated funds for clean energy authorized by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, signed by President Joe Biden.

The Department of Energy said in a press release on Wednesday that it is seeking to “return more than $13 billion in unobligated funds initially appropriated to advance the previous Administration’s wasteful Green New Scam agenda.” The IRA, passed by Democrats with no GOP help, provided hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies for clean energy projects and programs.
