Can the DOE share more info on this and provide a more detailed explanation for this decision? https://apnews.com/a rticle/trump-energy-department-clean-energy-wind-solar-batterieshydrogen-fossil- fuels-cfldff9ee771c566765e9ca3e3599d91 As you are aware, RMI has led efforts to ban gas stoves and boasts a number of ties to the Chinese Communist Party. It has also received millions of dollars from prominent left-wing grantmakers. We would love to highlight this grant cancellation, if possible. Let me know if you could get something over by around 3pm EST. Thank you!
