This does more than cut budgets:

> DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy: a cut of 173%, which would not only eliminate the $425 million agency, but also force it to return $311 million to the U.S. Department of the Treasury

This sucks, I would rather see more civilian than military advanced projects, but of course Trump has the opposite preference.

(That isn't to say that DoE isn't doing plenty of military stuff too.)

ARPA-e is a grant funding institution. They were given 400 million to give grants, and have issued 92 million. Trumps budget is asking for them to return the remainder.
