## More than 20 states sue EPA over canceled grants for solar power

Authored by nbcnews.com

More than 20 states sued the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday, challenging the agency’s decision to cancel a $7 billion program that aimed to make solar power accessible to low-income households.

The program, called “Solar For All,” was established in 2022 under the Inflation Reduction Act and had appropriated grants to deploy rooftop and community solar projects.

It was part of the Biden administration’s push to reduce carbon pollution and was supposed to make solar power more accessible to nearly a million additional U.S. households.

But in August, the EPA announced that the program had been canceled and withdrew about 90% of grant funds from the accounts in which states had received the awards, according to the lawsuit.

The EPA has been aggressive in its attempts to claw back clean energy funding approved under the Biden administration.

The states behind the legal challenge had hoped that the funding would boost solar supply, reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity production and lower the price of energy.

That lawsuit says EPA violated the individual grant agreements it made with states and state energy authorities when it clawed its money back. »

“It’s not sustainable, but that’s what the number is,” Trump said on Fox News, suggesting that Beijing had given him little option but to throw out such a high number.

Trump also threatened new export controls on “any and all critical software” effective November 1 as part of the tit-for-tat salvoes.

Since his January inauguration, Trump has repeatedly set, delayed and reinstated tariff deadlines on China and a host of other trading partners, roiling markets and upending business plans. »
