WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency has terminated grant agreements worth $20 billion issued by the Biden administration under a so-called green bank to finance clean energy and climate-friendly projects.

The action comes weeks after the EPA froze the grants, which EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has characterized as a “gold bar” scheme marred by conflicts of interest and potential fraud.

More winning

All we have to do is find 500 more $20B savings bundles and we can balance the year’s budget.

[Magnum44]

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) budget for fiscal year (FY) 2023 was $10.14 billion. The EPA’s budget includes both internal federal spending and external grants.

Cutting 20 billion in grants? Glad to see it but how does that add up? Was that over multiple years?

[shanover]

If this administration and Congress can balance this budget with savings and restructure with the tax cuts and codifying it all. I would be amazed. That’s awfully optimistic.

[Deaf Smith]

>>Was that over multiple years?

Negative.

The $20 billion was for 2025 distribution.

Handful of FR threads on this find and as stated above, the Golden Bars (being thrown off the sinking Titanic.)

Maryland-based Climate United Fund said the EPA and Citibank illegally denied the group access to $7 billion awarded last year through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund

Of particular interest to me are transactions involving money moving from one government entity to another.
I’ve seen some creative accounting in my day.

[BitWielder1]

Seems they were handing out money without asking if the measures would have any effect at all.
This is exactly the kind of cleanup I was voting for.

[con-surf-ative]

So does this include the Stacy Abrams $2 Billion? Some sources said yes, others don’t say.

“The Environmental Protection Agency has terminated grant agreements worth $20 billion issued by the Biden administration under a so-called green bank to finance clean energy and climate-friendly projects.” I wonder if these humanoids could communicated to me when it’s going to rain here.

[butlerweave]

All the time and money spent on clean energy and climate-friendly projects and they still have nothing but Fat Bank Accounts

They just want their payment for the Lie/Fraud/Scam.

This did not come out of the EPA budget.
