Trump Admin To Kill Another Massive Green Boondoggle, Hawley Says
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley announced that the Trump administration is scrapping the Grain Belt Express, a massive $11 billion
green energy project labeled a "scam" that's wasted taxpayer dollars. Following a chat with President Trump and Energy Secretary
Chris Wright, Hawley blasted the initiative on X, calling it a costly boondoggle that funnels wind energy from Kansas through
Missouri and Illinois to Indiana under false pretenses.
The project claimed to boost the grid and save consumers billions, but Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey's investigation
revealed widespread deception. Bailey's office issued a Civil Investigative Demand, uncovering that the scheme relied on a
fabricated "carbon tax" never enacted by law. This phony assumption inflated projected benefits, including a dubious $52 billion in
energy savings over 15 years, which were based on speculative and fraudulent claims designed to mislead regulators and prioritize
out-of-state interests over Missourians.
This cancellation is part of a broader Trump administration effort to dismantle wasteful green energy schemes. Since taking office,
the admin has targeted similar boondoggles, saving taxpayers from what critics call misguided policies that prioritize ideology
over practical, affordable energy solutions.
