Trump cuts $3.7 billion in last minute Biden green energy loans

[T. A. Gardner]

Yep, another $3.7 billion in fraud, waste, and abuse gone. The egregious one in this cut is $189 million given to Brimstone Commercial LLC. This is supposedly for this company to build a new demonstration plant that "decarbonizes" cement production.

If you go to Google Maps and look up the company's address, it's 1715 Popular St. Oakland CA.

The address is a graffiti covered door to a rundown set of small storage units next to a homeless encampment. This is a typical smaller cement manufacturing plant

Does it look like a company operating out of a storage unit could possibly design and build anything resembling that?

Don't hold your breath on that one. More likely, they'll studiously ignore this thread as if it were a contagion because they've got nothing to comeback with.

Wait a minute, in another thread I was told repeatedly that Trump can’t be held respect for Doge’s failure cause only Congress can cut spending and now here we are seeing a celebration over Trump cutting spending. MAGA certainly are confused

So he’s got a 3.7 cut and a foreseeable 3 trillion dollar deficit, and Trump hasn’t even submitted a formal budget to Congress yet. And based on his last term’s budgets, whe he does, it will include billions in discretionary spending

No, you are confused. Congress authorized an amount for the Department of Energy to spend. They included some generalized line-items for that spending. The Department of Energy was then to award the money congress authorized to specific vendors, etc. What the Trump administration is doing is cancelling the contracts for spending that money on the basis that the awards were not properly vetted and made.

I'd say giving $189 million to a company operating out of a rundown storage unit on an alley in Oakland to produce a working cement manufacturing plant is a major stretch.
