Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
A federal judge overturned the U.S. Department of Energy's cancellation of $82.1 million in clean energy grants for 11 projects across five states (New York, Oregon, Connecticut, Minnesota, and Colorado). Judge Amit Mehta ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, who argued the grants were targeted because those states voted for Kamala Harris. The grants were issued by DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
