Trump Administration Targets $925M Green Energy Hub in West Virginia

The Trump administration's plan to slash social security administration funding has raised eyebrows, with a list obtained by POLITICO's E&E News revealing potential cancellations of hundreds of grants approved under President Joe Biden. Notably, the $925 million ARCH2 hub in West Virginia, previously spared, is now under threat. Senate Environment and Public Works Chair Shelley Moore Capito has voiced her concerns about these proposed cuts.

The list, which comes in addition to the $7.56 billion purge announced last week by White House budget director Russ Vought, includes projects that were initially expected to receive funding. Among them is the ARCH2 hub in West Virginia, which opposes the Trump administration's plan to cut energy funding. Despite the owner not being explicitly named in available public sources, the project's inclusion on the list has sparked concern.

Capito, who represents West Virginia in the Senate, has expressed her worry about the potential impact of these cuts on her state and the broader social security administration sector. The ARCH2 hub, valued at $925 million, was one of the projects initially believed to be safe from the administration's proposed budget cuts. However, its inclusion on the latest list suggests that no project is immune to the potential cancellations.

The Trump administration's plan to cut social security administration funding continues to evolve, with the latest list obtained by POLITICO's E&E News showing potential cancellations of hundreds of grants approved under President Joe Biden. The inclusion of the ARCH2 hub in West Virginia on this list underscores the uncertainty facing social security administration projects across the country. As the situation develops, lawmakers like Shelley Moore Capito will continue to monitor the situation and advocate for their constituents.
