"Texas County Sues Trump Admin Over Canceled Solar Grants"

"The lawsuit says the Trump administration unlawfully revoked funding for low-income communities to access clean, affordable energy."

"A Texas county is suing EPA over the agency’s cancellation of nearly $250 million in solar energy grants.

The lawsuit filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia argues that EPA broke the law when it terminated its $7 billion “Solar for All” program created under the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act to help low-income communities access clean, affordable energy.

Harris County, which encompasses Houston, had received a $249.7 million award — one of the largest in the nation — that was intended to fund local solar projects designed to lower utility bills for Texas families, reduce pollution from energy use and improve grid reliability."
