Since January 2025, federal grant and loan freezes, cancellations, and threats have stoked confusion and uncertainty amongst grantees. There has been a flurry of court cases and executive orders in response to these actions. In April, the Trump Administration was ordered by a federal judge to release funds. In this data story, we will review the ways the Trump Administration has impacted federal funding for climate and clean energy.

House Republicans passed their “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” through the reconciliation process on May 22, sending it to the U.S. Senate and one step closer to being signed into law by President Donald Trump.

Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Jason Smith, R-Missouri, issued a statement claiming the bill “locks in the successful 2017 Trump tax cuts” and, if passed, would result in “made-in-America incentives” and secure more than 7 million jobs over the next four years, with wage increases of more than $11,000.

All-electric, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell electric vehicles purchased new in 2023 or after may be eligible for a federal income tax credit of up to $7,500.

The availability of the credit will depend on several factors, including the vehicle’s MSRP, its final assembly location, battery component and/or critical minerals sourcing, and your modified adjusted gross income (AGI).

Last week, House Republicans released long-awaited tax and budget proposals that would provide the top 5 percent of taxpayers with about $1.5 trillion in tax breaks. This windfall for the ultrawealthy would be paid for by gutting programs that create American jobs and help Americans afford the cost of basic needs, such as health care and groceries.

President Donald Trump’s “national energy emergency” took on new meaning in May — and new victims — according to watchdog and community action organizations who say his policies and changes to the budget threaten both the wallets and lives of Arizonans headed into another scorching summer.

Arizona is on its way to clean energy dominance, with 24 major new projects and more than $11.8 billion in private investments, thanks, in part, to federal clean energy tax incentives that are now under threat. This means good paying jobs, cleaner air, and thriving communities, especially in rural parts of Arizona that are often overlooked. And it means that Arizona is leading the way as the US seeks to hold its position as a global energy leader.

In just 100 days in office, President Trump’s tariffs, executive orders and all-out assault on clean energy have put Arizona’s clean energy boom at risk. 

New data recently released from Climate Power shows that 95 clean energy projects have been threatened, delayed or canceled nationally since Trump took office, representing $71.24 billion in investment and 62,554 jobs.

As a single parent of an elementary child in Tucson, I do everything I can to keep him safe and healthy. I make sure he has nutritious lunches packed for school, is well rested, and gets regular checkups.

But there’s still something beyond my control that affects his well-being every single day: the air he breathes.

Climate action organizations and some Arizona lawmakers are raising concerns over Trump administration cuts to federal clean energy spending.
