Congresswoman Escobar criticizes the EPA's decision to rescind funding for the Solar for All Program, urging reinstatement.
Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, alongside several Texas Democratic colleagues, has expressed concern over the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) decision to rescind $7 billion in funding for the Solar for All Program. This funding, set up through the Inflation Reduction Act, aimed to support solar panel installations on income-qualified households across Texas.
The lawmakers argue that the cancellation of 60 grants would negatively impact over 28,000 Texas households by eliminating potential energy savings and job opportunities. They stated, “The EPA does not have authority to rescind obligated funds,” calling for urgent reinstatement of the funding to fulfill the program's objectives.
Escobar emphasized that the Solar for All program was designed to make energy more affordable and requested the EPA “reinstate these already appropriated funds as soon as possible.” Other Texas representatives joined her in this appeal to restore support for low-income families and communities.
