White House seeks 72 percent cut to clean energy research

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is poised to ask Congress for deep budget cuts to the Energy Department’s renewable energy and energy efficiency programs, slashing them by 72 percent overall in fiscal 2019, according to draft budget documents obtained by the Washington Post.
Many of the sharp cuts would likely be restored by Congress, but President Donald Trump’s budget, due out in February, will mark a starting point for negotiations and offer a statement of intent and policy priorities.
