To Cut “Greenhouse Gases,” EPA Doles Out Dollars to Groups Tied to Biden, Democrats

by Michael Tennant, The New American:

Three organizations closely associated with the Biden administration and the Democratic Party were awarded $14 billion by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Thursday.

The EPA announced the first recipients of grants from the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), a creation of the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Of the $20 billion doled out Thursday, Climate United got $7 billion, the Coalition for Green Capital (CGC) received $5 billion, and Power Forward Communities (PFC) pocketed $2 billion.

According to the Daily Caller, “Each of the three organizations are [sic] planning to route at least 50% of their investments to ‘low-income and disadvantaged communities,’ in line with the Biden administration’s ‘Justice40’ commitment to ensure that at least 40% of the benefits of climate-related spending flows to such communities to pursue ‘environmental justice.’”
