Energy Prospectus

More proof that our Federal Government is run by idiots. How can any American taxpayer be against what DOGE is doing?

Over the last two days, agencies terminated 401 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $2.1B and savings of $613M, including a $276k Treasury contract for a “Kenya program coordinator”, a $228k Treasury contract for “Kenya, Uganda, Namibia and Tanzania cruiser vehicles”, a $24k DHS contract for “two day training on equal opportunity in employment”, a $15k DHS contract for “Out and Equal workplace advocates”, and a $5.9M DoC contract for “environmental consulting support services”.

Great job by Secretary Sean Duffy and U.S. Department of Transportation for terminating 7 wasteful grants with award value of $54M and savings of $51M, including:

- $6M for “collaborative planning to address safety concerns of women and gender non-conforming people”

- $12M for “accelerating equitable decarbonization”

- $6M for “hyperlocal pollution exposure inequalities” in New York City




The U.S. Department of Transportation is working hard to cut waste and will have more to report over the coming weeks!

Meanwhile, Bill Gates is upset that Elon Musk and DOGE exposed USAID, which has since been eliminated and essential aid programs placed under the State Department:

Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates ratcheted up his feud with Elon Musk, accusing the world’s richest man of “killing the world’s poorest children” through what he said were misguided cuts to US development assistance.
Gates, who is announcing a plan to accelerate his philanthropic giving over the next 20 years and close down the Gates Foundation altogether in 2045, said in an interview that the Tesla chief had acted through ignorance.
In February, Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) in effect shut down the US Agency for International Development, the main conduit for US aid, saying it was “time for it to die”.
