"More than $150 million dollars were set to be distributed through the C-MORE program. One critic called its cancellation “economic sabotage.”"
"The Trump administration has eviscerated a grant program designed to make U.S. industry cleaner and more competitive by improving measurement of emissions from building materials.
The Environmental Protection Agency says it has canceled $116 million in grants to 21 recipients that include universities and trade groups, according to information obtained by the Sierra Club through a public records request.
The EPA said it had no comment because these grants are the subject of current or pending litigation. (Heatmap News first reported about the EPA list of grant cancellations.)
The agency has massively cut grants to the point that it may be difficult to keep the actions straight, continuing what has been a jarring first two months of the Trump administration. These grants are not nearly as big as the $20 billion at issue in the administration’s attempt to claw back funding for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, but they are a significant blow to attempts to reduce emissions from U.S. manufacturing."
