Environmental Groups Sue EPA Over Scrapped 'Solar for All' Program
Environmental groups have taken legal action against the EPA in Rhode Island federal court. The lawsuit, filed on Monday, contests the Trump administration's decision to scrap the 'Solar for All' program. The initiative, which received $7 billion in funding, aimed to provide solar energy to low-income communities.
The plaintiffs, a coalition of environmental organizations, argue that the EPA unlawfully terminated grants intended for these communities. Among the potential plaintiffs are prominent environmental groups such as the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund, National Wildlife Federation, and The Nature Conservancy. These organizations often play a significant role in environmental legal disputes. Additionally, local groups like the Rhode Island Audubon Society may also be involved in specific cases.
The lawsuit challenges the EPA's decision to end the 'Solar for All' program, aiming to reinstate the initiative and its benefits for low-income communities. The case is ongoing, with the specific environmental organizations involved yet to be confirmed.
