Gov. Tony Evers sent a letter amid reports that the Trump Administration plans to terminate over 600 U.S. Department of Energy unding awards, including more than $1.5 billion in approved funding to Wisconsin-based companies and organizations or projects located in Wisconsin with energy-related goals and objectives.
