Tuesday, US District Judge Tonya Chutkan blocked the tRump’s
Environmental Pollution Agency from ending $14 billion dollars in grants
awarded to three climate groups: Climate United Fund, Coalition for Green Capital
and Power Forward Communities. The
groups work towards long-term solutions for clean energy and climate-friendly
projects.
Last week, EPA administrator/climate change denier/anti-science
Lee Zeldin announced the funds would be frozen in what he called a “gold-bar”
scheme. He went onto say the grants “raises
significant concerns and poser unacceptable risk”.
However, Zeldin failed to prove any of his accusations.
Judge Chutkan ruled the EPA have not explained why terminating the grants was a
rational precursor to reviewing the green bank program, which is where the
funds for the groups are kept.
She also said Zeldin’s “vague and unsubstantiated assertions
of fraud are insufficient”.
In less than two months, Zeldin has tried to show he is on
the side of the people by telling us he is saving our tax dollars. Each time, his
lies prove he is not a champion for the people nor the environment.
