Why billions in disaster aid go unspent
As disaster experts continue to piece together the events that led to more than 100 people dying in this month's Texas floods, the tragedy is highlighting a deadly gap between abundant federal dollars for disaster preparation and the ability of states to put it to use. Texas has relinquished $225 million in federal aid over the past 10 years that Washington had granted it to ready communities for disasters, according to federal records reviewed by Thomas Frank and Mike Lee. In fact, Texas officials twice turned down the county that experienced the worst of this month's flooding when it asked for a small portion of available federal money to set up a flood warning system. Texas is not unique in letting federal disaster money lie fallow. Since 2015, the federal Hazard Mitigation Grant Program has heaped more than $23 billion on states to prepare for floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and other threats. The funding is automatically approved for mitigation against future hazards when a federal disaster is declared, and it is provided in addition to federal funds doled out to clean up and rebuild after disasters strike. But roughly $21 billion of that federal grant money remains unspent. The federal government has clawed back some of the disaster money because states never used it. Over the past decade, states have relinquished $1.4 billion of federal mitigation grant money, including Texas' $225 million. The problem: Federal officials stress that the untapped federal funds are a lost opportunity to prepare for instead of simply respond to deadly events. But states and counties often lack the staff, expertise or bandwidth to navigate a cumbersome federal process to tap those funds. Even though the federal grants are automatically approved after a disaster declaration, applicants have to drum up hundreds of pages to prove to federal disaster agencies that their proposed projects are feasible, make financial sense, and comply with environmental and historical preservation laws. It's a potentially deadly inefficiency within the federal bureaucracy of disaster preparation, Thomas and Mike write, even as climate change intensifies the extreme weather that can hurtle through communities with little notice. A former emergency management official in Nevada, David Fogerson, summed up the federal grant program as a 'blessing and a curse.' 'It almost becomes overload,' he said, 'when you're trying to manage the disaster and then you're trying to measure how to protect against the next disaster.'

Power Centers U.S. disengagement in red, white and blueClimate and energy experts were swept up in the mass firing of State Department employees Friday — thwarting U.S. engagement just as China grabs the reins on clean energy development, former diplomats say. Around 75 people focused on climate have left State since President Donald Trump took office. Two-thirds of the Bureau of Energy Resources were let go Friday, according to estimates. The State Department declined to confirm those figures, Sara Schonhardt reports. 'It's crippling,' said Dan Reifsnyder, a former diplomat who spearheaded U.S. climate efforts at the State Department from their beginning. 'I think the biggest thing that the United States brings to these international fora are really very bright people, very dedicated people, people with ideas, people with creativity, people with talent.' State says the restructuring will make it 'more accountable, more accessible, and more transparent.' The move comes as Trump defunds the transition to clean energy, withdraws from global climate efforts and cuts weather and disaster spending. Check the 'yes' boxA representative from the Department of Government Efficiency told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's chair and top staff that they were expected to 'rubber stamp' new reactors tested by the departments of Energy or Defense, Francisco 'A.J.' Camacho and Peter Behr report. Trump has said he wants to quadruple the U.S. supply of nuclear power by 2050. Tech industry allies, Republicans in Congress and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright have been sharply critical of the NRC for what they say is an unreasonably slow approval process for nuclear technology. Defenders of the agency say the political push to build more nuclear reactors, and fast, doesn't change NRC requirements under the law to ensure new reactor designs are safe. Shrinking agenciesHouse Republican appropriators unveiled their fiscal 2026 funding legislation for the Interior Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, with steep cuts proposed for both agencies, Kevin Bogardus, Garrett Downs and Michael Doyle report. The bill would approve about $38 billion for agencies under its purview, nearly $3 billion below the fiscal 2025 amount. Interior would get about $14.8 billion and EPA would be funded at $7 billion, a 23 percent cut for the environment agency. Sierra Club boss is on leaveBen Jealous is on leave from his job as the Sierra Club's boss after a tumultuous stretch leading the organization, Robin Bravender reports. The green group informed staff in a cryptic message Friday that Jealous was on leave and that an acting boss would be filling in.

The GOP plan to make EVs but not sell them
Republicans took a conflicted stance in their megabill: They will help factories that make electric vehicle batteries, but not Americans who want to buy EVs. That's one way to make sense of the EV provisions in President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' which took every incentive that made it easier to buy an electric vehicle and threw them in the wastebasket. Analysts expect sales of battery-powered cars and trucks to drop sharply after September, when the new law phases out Biden-era tax credits worth up to $7,500 for buyers of new and used EVs. 'It's a major blow to the future of the clean energy industry in the U.S.,' said Jay Turner, a professor at Wellesley College in Massachusetts who maintains a database of U.S. battery and EV investments. But there's one aspect of former President Joe Biden's landmark climate law that Republicans didn't erase. They left mostly intact a provision, known as 45X, that gives generous tax breaks to makers of battery cells and modules. Many of those factories are providing jobs in Republican congressional districts. That gives automakers a reason to get their expensive new battery plants online, even if the American transition to EVs is delayed. Actually getting that tax break won't be easy, though. The megabill erects new barriers to purge the EV supply chain of Chinese influence. The Treasury Department will eventually turn that thicket of rules into guidance — leaving battery-makers uncertain in the meantime if their projects will qualify. The road ahead As EV incentives disappear, America will discover what an electric vehicle market looks like with (almost) none of Uncle Sam's dollars involved. The government first approved EV incentives under the presidency of George W. Bush. Automakers will either find a way to make the EV inexpensive and compelling enough to compete with the traditional car — or they won't. Longtime EV advocates are discouraged by the thoroughness of the Trump assault. 'It's disappointing and frustrating,' said Anne Blair, the vice president of policy at the Electrification Coalition, a nonprofit that lobbies for EVs. 'I've been around long enough, I've seen these waves, but this is the most aggressive attack on clean tech that we have seen.' Stephanie Brinley, an auto analyst at S&P Global Mobility, said it will now be up to consumers to decide 'how fast the EV adaptation should go.' 'Trump was not shy about wanting to roll back the regulations and incentives for EVs. You have to believe there were voters who wanted that to happen,' she said.

Power Centers FEMA: Conspicuously quietDavid Richardson, the acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has not been to the site of the deadly flooding in central Texas, upending a long practice of FEMA leaders making themselves visible after major disasters. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited the flooded area on Saturday. But former FEMA officials said Richardson's absence — and his lack of public appearances, statements and social media postings — raise concerns that DHS is controlling the agency's response, Thomas Frank reports. 'The secretary has a huge portfolio, and she will quickly get pulled in different directions to handle all of the things she needs to manage. You need the FEMA administrator, whose job is only to manage the disaster,' said Deanne Criswell, who ran FEMA during the Biden administration. The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment directly to questions about Richardson's absence, but defended the agency's general response. 'FEMA has deployed extensive staff to support Texas response and recovery operations based on staff skills and requirements,' said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at DHS. Zeldin, Texas and weather tamperingLee Zeldin, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, drew new attention today to concerns over potential weather modifying technology at a time when unfounded questions have swirled around the cause of catastrophic flooding in Texas, Kevin Bogardus and Ellie Borst write. Newly launched agency webpages share new information about jets' contrails, which have long been at the center of conspiracy theories about climate-related experiments and military operations. 'EPA is not aware of any scientific evidence that supports any claim that any nefarious activities are taking place,' the agency said, reaffirming the broad scientific consensus. Some Democrats mocked the contrail postings, accusing EPA of giving oxygen to baseless accusations. But Zeldin called the new pages an example of the Trump administration's 'total transparency,' saying he had asked his staff to compile everything EPA knows about contrails and geoengineering and release it to the public. 'For years, people who ask questions in good faith were dismissed, even vilified by the media and their own government,' Zeldin said in a video. 'That era is over. ' Pipeline 'shakedown'Opposition is growing over a revived natural gas pipeline project that would run into New York City, Mike Soraghan writes. Williams Cos., headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has petitioned federal regulators to reissue a certificate to build the Northeast Supply Enhancement project, a 24-mile natural gas pipeline that would run into New York from New Jersey. The project would deliver more gas from the Gulf Coast to the metropolitan area. Trump has pushed to revive gas pipelines that had previously run into state opposition in the Northeast, including the Constitution pipeline, which would deliver shale gas from Pennsylvania. Critics are accusing Trump of a 'political shakedown' that forced New York state officials to get behind the pipeline project. Placating the rightModerate Republicans are fuming about Trump's executive order signed on Monday to placate conservatives who voted for his mega-tax-and-spend bill. Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and John Curtis of Utah secured concessions to ease the phase-out of renewable energy tax credits, Nico Portuondo, Kelsey Brugger and Timothy Cama write. Murkowski, during a hearing Wednesday, said the order 'really guts the effort for a compromise that we were able to secure within that reconciliation bill. So I don't really like it. I'll just be blunt, I don't really like it all.' Trump's executive order cracking down on clean energy tax credits injects a fresh round of uncertainty for solar and wind developers.

Trump's energy vow hits ‘big, beautiful' roadblock
Congressional Republicans may have helped President Donald Trump follow through on major campaign promises with passage Thursday of the budget reconciliation bill. But the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' may also violate one of Trump's major campaign pledges: to slash Americans' electricity bills. An analysis from Princeton University's Rapid Energy Policy Evaluation and Analysis Toolkit predicts that the bill will result in Americans paying $28 billion more a year in energy prices by 2030 and $50 billion by 2035. That translates to $280 more a year for the average household by 2035. Trump promised he would halve energy bills during his first year. So far, that hasn't happened. The U.S. Energy Information Administration said this spring that retail electricity prices were set to rise faster than inflation through 2026. The president has little power to reduce your utility bill. The price you pay depends on factors including the generation mix, fuel costs and how much infrastructure is being built. But Trump's actions aren't doing much to help. The megabill will require wind and solar projects to either start construction within a year of passage or enter service by 2027 to get tax credits. That means less wind and solar being built, wiping away a cheap new source of power for an already strained grid. The Princeton analysis says that the megabill could result in some planned wind and solar additions being replaced by geothermal energy and gas plants with carbon capture, which would be more expensive and take longer to build. Those estimates — which have not been peer reviewed — are relative to what Trump could do on his own with executive action. They align with other projections for Republican policies, like a spring study from NERA Economic Consulting that found that repealing clean energy tax credits would raise the average retail electricity price by nearly 7 percent by 2026. In an hourslong speech on the House floor, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the bill an 'extraordinary and unprecedented assault on clean energy and cheaper energy.' In a statement to Power Switch, the White House said the 'Panicans should trust President Trump,' pointing to the nation's lowest gasoline prices since 2021. 'The same 'industry experts' who suddenly care about energy prices supported Joe Biden's Green New Scam — a $15 billion tax hike on Americans to fund radical climate initiatives,' said It's Thursday — thank you for tuning in to POLITICO's Power Switch.

The states were part of a coalition that sued over the Trump administration's freezing of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, which aimed to build EV chargers every 50 miles on major highways. The Federal Highway Administration said in a statement that it 'still can appeal the preliminary injunction and is currently coordinating its legal strategy with the Department of Justice.' Science, reconsidered The Trump administration's push for a new 'gold standard' for federal science protocol runs the risk of elevating fringe climate theories, Scott Waldman writes. At issue is an Office of Science and Technology Policy memo with directives that have been used to attack research, experts say. OSTP Director Michael Kratsios, who authored the memo, wrote that its goal is to 'ensure the United States continues as the global leader in rigorous, evidence-based science.'

Clean energy backers brace for megabill fallout
The fate of U.S. clean energy now lies in the hands of an unruly House Republican caucus. President Donald Trump worked the phones today and brought Republican lawmakers to the White House, hoping to persuade them to back budget reconciliation legislation the Senate passed Tuesday after a marathon vote that tossed some last-minute lifelines to wind and solar. The president is still aiming to notch a major legislative win by the July 4 holiday. As my colleague Christa Marshall and I reported this morning, the Senate bill authorizes some big handouts to the fossil fuel industry, an ally to Trump and congressional Republicans. The Senate bill gives new tax perks to carbon capture systems that use carbon dioxide to spur oil and gas production. It also delivers tax benefits for drilling expenses and keeps in place a hydrogen tax credit that the oil industry lobbied hard to get. But the upper chamber did discard an excise tax on wind and solar and gave a small extension to tax credit deadlines for renewable projects. Clean energy backers still say the bill would be devastating for U.S. clean energy, which has driven billions of dollars in manufacturing investment since passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. The climate change-focused data modeling group Energy Innovation projects the Senate legislation will strip the U.S. of 340 gigawatts of new power generation capacity by 2035, a staggering figure that could supply hundreds of millions of homes with electricity. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) and Greenline Insights together forecast 1.7 million jobs lost, $290 billion in lost gross domestic product and an 8 percent rise in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. Both analyses show huge blows to wind power over the next decade. Some close observers of Capitol Hill expect House Republicans to bow to the Trump pressure. 'I find it difficult to see hard-line conservatives rolling over on the President's signature political agenda,' said Frank Maisano, senior principal at the lobbying group Bracewell. 'That fact is, the clean energy sector is still sitting in shark-infested waters with no life preservers and no lifeboats in sight.'

Power Centers Energy dominance runs up against a brain drainThe Trump administration's cleanout of federal agencies could hamper its ability to push fossil fuels and rein in regulations, Miranda Willson and Hannah Northey write. Critical agencies have fewer people to review permit applications or offer subject-matter expertise, and their loss could slow down the administration's efforts. 'We just sent an enormous amount of brain power packing through the deferred resignation program and natural retirements,' said Steve Tryon, the director of Interior's Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance, during a webinar last week. Climate scientists take up the national assessment mantle With the future of the National Climate Assessment uncertain, some researchers are considering nonfederal options for delivering the report, Chelsea Harvey writes. The Trump administration Monday removed the previous reports — the nation's most comprehensive climate assessment — from the Internet. A White House spokesperson told Chelsea that the reports will eventually be housed on NASA's website. In the meantime, the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society are working together on what they are billing as a 'first-of-its-kind special collection focused on climate change in the United States.' Brussels sets 2040 climate targetsThe European Commission on Wednesday proposed cutting the bloc's carbon emissions 90 percent by 2040, but offered countries significant leeway in how they get there, Zia Weise and Louise Guillot report from Brussels. Nations will be allowed to use international carbon credits to meet a portion of their target. Critics say this risks undercutting countries' own climate efforts. EU climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra said Wednesday the leeway is an 'improvement to the system.'

California's green rule rollback ignites firestorm
California Democrats' dramatic policy move to address the state's housing crisis has put party leaders on a collision course with environmental advocates and labor unions. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic state lawmakers on Monday agreed to exempt a wide array of projects from the California Environmental Quality Act, which requires construction projects to assess and address environmental impacts, writes Camille von Kaenel. Newsom conditioned passage of the state's $320 billion budget to approval of the exemptions, which he said were necessary to get more homes built. This is 'the most consequential housing reform that we've seen in modern history in the state of California,' Newsom said at a press conference. The reform also exempts projects such as wildfire fuel breaks, water system upgrades, portions of the high-speed rail project and advanced manufacturing facilities like semiconductor and electric vehicle plants — outraging many environmental and labor groups. 'They're conditioning the funding of essential services like health care, education, to this huge policy change that would dramatically roll back environmental review for some of the most polluting facilities in California,' said Asha Sharma, the state policy manager at the Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability. Teamsters, United Auto Workers and United Steelworkers likened the measure to the Trump administration's rollback of the National Environmental Policy Act and warned it 'would give carte blanche to companies like Tesla to expand without any environmental oversight.' But critics of the foundational law, which was passed by Republican governor Ronald Reagan 55 years ago, say it has been weaponized to allow lawsuits to slow or halt housing development, fueling the state's housing shortage and driving up homelessness rates and the cost of living. Building more densely in urban areas, they argue, is better for the environment. It allows for more energy efficiency and facilitates public transit, cutting down on super commuters who spend hours in traffic emitting climate pollution. Still, that doesn't explain why advanced manufacturing facilities such as semiconductor and EV plants would be exempt from review, argue environmentalists and labor groups representing auto workers, machinists and scientists. Such facilities can leach toxic waste into neighborhoods, they said. That argument seems to have stuck, Camille writes. Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener said the California Senate is 'committed' to working on provisions related to advanced manufacturing, tribal consultation and endangered species protections in potential follow-up bills.

Power Centers Senate passes its megabill after an all-nighter The Senate narrowly approved its version of the Republican tax, energy and border security bill, after making changes that eased up on provisions opposed by the wind and solar industry, write Timothy Cama, Amelia Davidson and Nico Portuondo. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky joined Democrats in voting against the measure, requiring Vice President JD Vance to cast the tie-breaking vote. The sprawling domestic policy measure now heads to the House, with Republicans hustling to get it to the president's desk by July 4, writes Jordain Carney. That will be a heavy lift: Moderates are worried about changes to Medicaid and clean energy tax credits included in the Senate bill, and conservatives are up in arms that it doesn't go far enough in cutting spending. Megabill debate mirrors state battlesBefore Republican Senators passed their version of Trump's megabill, the party found itself embroiled in a debate about how harshly to treat the wind and solar industries, mirroring a major battle playing out in Texas, Oklahoma and other deep-red states, writes Jason Plautz. The debate is one of ideology versus economics. While Republicans tend to look down on clean energy, the fiscal incentives are strong. In Texas, for example, business groups — even including oil and gas producers — were crucial in spreading the message that restricting solar and wind could drive up electricity costs. Trump attacks the Montreal ProtocolAs treaties go, the Montreal Protocol is often considered one of the most successful. But the United States' continued participation in the 1987 agreement to save the ozone layer is suddenly in question, writes Sara Schonhardt. Trump's proposed rescission package calls for eliminating funding to the agreement, as part of a plan to claw back $437 million appropriated for international organizations and programs during the Biden administration. Experts say that could undermine new markets for U.S. goods while threatening protections from the sun's harmful radiation. In Other News Water infrastructure: Flint finally replaced its lead pipes.
