EXCLUSIVE: GOP Rep Looks To Shutter Biden-Era Green Energy Office

Republican Texas Rep. Brandon Gill introduced legislation Thursday that calls for the elimination of a Biden-era office dedicated to green ⚡Energy projects known as the Office of Clean ⚡Energy Demonstrations (OCED).

The OCED Elimination Act would dissolve the federal office, which is under the Department of ⚡Energy (DOE) and initially established under a section of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IJJA), according to the bill text. OCED was Congressionally chartered in 2021 during former President Joe Biden’s tenure and awarded $25 billion to develop green ⚡Energy projects in line with Biden’s focus on the fight against climate change
