‘List of words to avoid’: US energy department bans use of ‘climate change’, ‘green’ in official communications; cites administrative priorities

The US Energy Department's EERE has controversially banned key terms like “climate change,” “green,” and “emissions” from its communications, aligning with the current administration's views. This directive follows President Trump's dismissal of global warming as a “hoax” and Energy Secretary Chris Wright's cancellation of renewable energy funding, signaling a significant shift in US energy policy and climate discourse.
