Quiver AI Summary
Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, in her role as Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, has publicly condemned the EPA's plans to terminate $7 billion in federal solar grants aimed at low-income and disadvantaged communities. In a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, she emphasized the importance of the Solar for All program.
Pingree argued that discontinuing this funding would increase electricity costs for vulnerable households, stating, "At a time when electricity prices are increasing... it is unconscionable that you would seek to deny access to clean, cheap energy." The program was expected to create thousands of jobs and generate significant savings on electric bills.
The Solar for All initiative, authorized in 2022 as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, was designed to provide financial and technical assistance for solar energy projects. Pingree urged the EPA to reconsider its decision, highlighting the potential long-term benefits for American families and the environment.
