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.

The only one in America whose life is improved by mass deportation is Donald Trump.
Ignorant and hateful people (the MAGA base) love the idea of punishing people with brown skin. Yet working class white supremacists actually lose financially, as prices rise due to loss of workers in low-income jobs in agriculture, restauranting, childcare, landscaping, construction, hospitality, etc.
Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely.
As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect that Trump is the only force separating America from communism. This, believe it or not, is a concept warmly embraced by tens of millions of hateful idiots.
The rest of the developed world deems healthcare to be a human right, like potable water. We counter: Bull****. Corporate profitability is the supreme right here.
