Clean Energy for America’s Statement on Historic Greenhouse Gas Fund Investment
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $20 billion in awards through the Inflation Reduction Act’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to lower energy bills, cut harmful pollution and invest in low-income communities. In response, CE4A Executive Director Andrew Reagan released the following statement:
“The Biden Administration is cutting pollution and bringing new jobs and consumer savings right where it’s needed most, thanks to today’s announcement. Delivering on their commitments, $14 billion dollars is going to low-income and disadvantaged communities, to help them make the switch to cost-saving clean energy. It’s more proof that we can and must decarbonize our economy in an equitable way that benefits all Americans.”
“The Biden administration’s continued commitment to clean energy will help communities across the country. The Inflation Reduction Act will continue to advance local climate solutions. And today’s announcement will cut carbon pollution, save people money, and create good-paying clean energy jobs nationwide.”
