US president Donald Trump has once again advocated for slashing federal funding for clean energy in a budget proposal for fiscal year 2021, released on Monday.
‘A Budget for America’s Future’ is a largely symbolic document ahead of the federal election in November, given that Congress is highly unlikely to approve its contents.
The document requests US$35.4 billion for the Department of Energy (DoE), an 8.1% decrease from 2020’s allocation.
