July 14 (Reuters) - Trump administration policies that scaled back federal support for clean energy have led to the cancellation or delay of $83 billion in investment across hundreds of projects, according to a report released on Tuesday by labor and environmental coalition BlueGreen Alliance.
The analysis found that 223 manufacturing and clean energy projects representing $82.9 billion in investment and 111,765 jobs have stalled or been cancelled during Donald Trump's second presidency.
The analysis attributed that to Trump's signature tax and spending package, which repealed or curtailed Biden-era incentives as well as other administration actions aimed at reducing federal support for renewable energy and electric vehicles.
"The resulting figures clearly illustrate the staggering loss of investment and job creation that the policies of this administration and Congress have brought about," Roxanne Johnson, BlueGreen Alliance's vice president of research, said in a statement.
