Energy Department Allocates $625M from Carbon Capture Funds to Coal Power Programs

This decision follows the cancellation of previously selected carbon capture projects by Secretary Chris Wright, allowing coal plants to receive federal support for upgrades without a mandatory commitment to future carbon capture implementation.
