Summary
The EPA has terminated $20 billion in climate grants from the Biden administration’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, claiming concerns of fraud, waste, and conflicts of interest.
Administrator Lee Zeldin claimed the program lacked oversight and favored politically connected nonprofits.
Three of the affected groups have sued, arguing the funding freeze was unlawful. Democrats, including Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, accused Zeldin of acting without evidence and catering to fossil fuel interests.
Pretty sure the solar panels I had that wiped out my power bill for a cheap monthly payment were cheap and good for my finances because of grants like these. Paid a lot of solar installers too. Fucking dumb that programs helpful to homeowners get cut while the rich get massive tax cuts. I’m sick of this shit.
