Summary

The EPA has terminated $20 billion in climate grants from the Biden administration’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, claiming concerns of fraud, waste, and conflicts of interest.

Administrator Lee Zeldin claimed the program lacked oversight and favored politically connected nonprofits.

Three of the affected groups have sued, arguing the funding freeze was unlawful. Democrats, including Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, accused Zeldin of acting without evidence and catering to fossil fuel interests.

    Until now, all EPA grants have gone to environmental saving causes. Where the heck is the equal opportunity to environmental killing causes? Nature would kill us if it got the chance. It sends murder hornets, killer bees, and other modern super-animals like the flying squirrel and electric eels. Do you want to be caught unprepared???
