The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected 60 recipients to receive $7 billion in awards through the Solar for All grant competition aimed at delivering residential solar projects to 900,000 households across the country.
Funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, which created EPA’s $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, the program hopes to develop solar programs enabling low-income and disadvantaged communities to deploy and benefit from distributed residential solar. The program will also provide services to communities to overcome barriers such as siting, permitting and interconnection.
“Today we’re delivering on President Biden’s promise that no community is left behind by investing $7 billion in solar energy projects for over 900,000 households in low-income and disadvantaged communities,” says Michael S. Regan, EPA administrator. “The selectees will advance solar energy initiatives across the country, creating hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs, saving $8 billion in energy costs for families, delivering cleaner air and combating climate change.”
The agency selected 49 state-level awards totaling approximately $5.5 billion, six awards to serve Tribes totaling over $500 million and five multistate awards totaling approximately $1 billion.
EPA anticipates that the awards will be finalized in the summer. Selections are contingent on the resolution of all administrative disputes related to the competitions.

Is a Team of Is a Bunch of MAGA Thugs Beating the Snot Out of a Woman a New Low, or Is it What We Now Need to Expect?
Just when we think there is a bottom, the United States sinks just a bit lower. It’s our brand nowadays.
That’s quite a left cross this thug delivered to this helpless female protestor.
It wasn’t too long ago that beating up women was taboo in America. My 11-year-old, sixth-grade son saw a male classmate of his badly bruise a girl by pushing her hard down to the ground–and proceeded to punch him in the mouth. A fellow father witnessed the scene and told me, “Your son’s fist was in that kid’s teeth within a fraction of a second.”
I had brought him up to avoid violence and achieve peaceful resolutions to conflicts, but I couldn’t fault him here.
What a disgusting bunch of turds we’ve become.

Was the Meme Here Written by a Human Being or a Bot?
We’re starting to see intimations that stupidity like this is generated and posted by Russian data centers so as to appeal to MAGA idiots and favor the Republicans in the upcoming midterms.

“Thanks, Mr. President”
Every day, we come across articles that summarize Trump’s “accomplishments.”
I thought I’d publish this masterpiece.
