Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) sponsored an amendment to H.R. 8997, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025, which would eliminate funding for the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). EERE plays a pivotal role in accelerating research, development, and demonstration of technologies and solutions that save families money on their energy costs and boost U.S. economic competitiveness and job creation. This work advances our national and energy security, reduces emissions of greenhouse gasses and other harmful pollutants, and ensures that the clean energy economy benefits all communities. Defunding EERE would put American clean energy innovation at risk. On July 23, the House rejected the Roy amendment by a vote of 144-277 (House roll call vote 376). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
