AGU joins Energy Sciences Coalition letter rejecting cuts to the Department Energy

Instead, Congress should appropriate $9.5 billion in FY 2027 to maintain U.S. competitiveness and unleash innovation in new energy and emerging technologies, consistent with ESC’s February 2026 FY 2027 funding statement.
