Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will be on Capitol Hill this week defending the president’s election-year budget plan.
President Joe Biden’s plan for DOE would continue increasing the department’s focus on climate-friendly energy sources, but it also includes some cuts.
Overall, DOE would get more than $1 billion in additional appropriations, but the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy would get a small cut. The same goes for the nuclear office.
“The FY 2025 Budget provides the Department with critical resources to transform the President’s historic clean energy investments into reality — as we continue to lay the building blocks for an inclusive clean energy economy that lifts up all communities across the country, while tackling the climate crisis head-on,” said Granholm last week.
