The Clinton administration did indeed take it out of the budget, but Congress had to go along. Actually, the Senate voted to keep it in, but the House did not, and the latter prevailed in conference.
It was not Congress that removed the funding, it was the Clinton Administration's Department of Energy that took the project out of the budget. The leader of that department was Hazel O'Leary, whose qualification for the job was her experience as a natural gas company executive. Hmmm.
This truly tells you how politics,greed, and ignorance always win over reason and science.
