States Unite Against EPA Over Canceled Solar Funding
In a significant legal move, more than 20 states have filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in response to the cancellation of the Solar For All grant program, which was projected to allocate $7 billion towards solar power initiatives. The lawsuit claims that the termination of these grants, which aimed to assist low-income communities and expand access to solar energy, was unlawful. Key states including California, North Carolina, Vermont, and Oregon have joined the coalition, with state attorneys general rallying to restore vital solar funding that benefits rural and low-income families. As energy costs rise, these leaders are calling on the Trump administration to reinstate the program and ensure continued support for renewable energy efforts.
