💨 Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under President Donald Trump terminated a $7 billion grant program designed to support residential solar projects for over 900,000 lower-income U.S. households. The program, part of the Biden-era’s Solar for All initiative, funded investments in rooftop solar and community solar gardens. Critics, including Sen. Bernie Sanders and industry leaders, argue that the move will increase utility bills, harm job creation, and hinder climate action.
