Published May 14, 2025 5:05pm ET



The House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced a Republican bill to slash funding for climate change mitigation programs Wednesday morning after more than 24 hours of debate.

The bill would cut funding from climate initiatives established by former President Joe Biden‘s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed by Democrats. The committee’s legislation would cancel up to $6.5 billion in unspent funding from the IRA.
