Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley announced Thursday that the Department of Energy (DOE) is canceling its Grain Belt Express project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley\u2019s X post<\/a> announcing the DOE\u2019s decision to cancel the project followed a conversation with President Donald Trump and Energy Secretary Chris Wright<\/a>. The post also called the Grain Belt Express a \u201cgreen scam\u201d that is \u201ccosting taxpayers BILLIONS.\u201d (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Report Urges Trump To Slam Shut Key Green Energy Loophole In Signature Law)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grain Belt Express was a $11 billion transmission line project<\/a> designed to carry electricity from wind farms in Kansas across Missouri and Illinois to Indiana. \u201cEnergy demand is growing \u2013 our grid needs an upgrade,\u201d the project\u2019s website states, \u201cNo other project saves consumers more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grain Belt Express line faced investigation by Missouri Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey\u2019s office in early July. A press release from Bailey\u2019s office stated<\/a> that the investigation stemmed from \u201cwidespread concerns over misleading claims and a track record of dishonesty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will not allow a private corporation to trample property rights and mislead regulators for a bait and switch that serves out-of-state interests instead of Missourians,\u201d Bailey said in the July 2 press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
