TheWkly Analysis
The Department of Energy froze a Biden-era rule aimed at phasing out fossil fuels in new federal buildings. Originally set for 2025 compliance, the requirement would have slashed on-site natural gas use by 90%. Citing President Trump’s policies, DOE officials will re-evaluate “burdens” and push implementation to at least 2026. Environmental advocates worry the delay effectively guts a major climate initiative, while fossil fuel interests applaud a reprieve.
