E.P.A. Offers No New Evidence in Battle Over $20 Billion in Climate Grants
Briefly

The Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) has faced significant controversy after canceling a $20 billion climate grant program. Although the agency cited unacceptable risks, it failed to provide direct evidence of waste, fraud, or abuse. Lawsuits have emerged from grant recipients seeking access to their promised funds, leading to a federal judge ordering the E.P.A. to justify its actions. In response, the agency referred to media reports and a video by Project Veritas rather than concrete proof, raising concerns about its decision-making process and the implications for clean energy funding.
