The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is partnering in Colorado to deliver clean energy to rural areas of the state through its Powering Affordable Clean Energy (PACE) program.
Selected applications total $81 million in partially forgivable loans from the Inflation Reduction Act, says the department.
“Rural communities are the backbone of America, and the Biden-Harris Administration is proud to partner with them to create a more affordable and sustainable future that will benefit rural families, businesses and the health of our planet for generations to come,” adds USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack.
“The projects we’re announcing today will create good-paying jobs, lower energy costs for consumers, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen the resiliency of our nation’s electric grid.”
USDA expects to continue making PACE awards in the coming months.

It Took Centuries for the U.S. to Build Its International Friendships, but Just 18 Months for Trump to Destroy Them
At left we see the words of the Premier of British Columbia, expressing his sorrow for the incredible pace at which the United States has destroyed its relationships with its allies.
Of course, this is no big deal to Trump supporters, many of whom couldn’t find British Columbia on a map.
It’s easy to blame Trump for his lies and criminality.
It’s harder to accept the fact that many of the people of the United States are willing believe essentially anything, regardless of how preposterous, that comes out of the president’s mouth.
