How do you feel about EPA terminating 20 billion dollars in Biden climate grants?

[Cubus]

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said Tuesday evening he had terminated $20 billion in climate change grants issued by the Biden administration under the Inflation Reduction Act.

EPA is a joke.

They reversed the statement that Co2 is harmful to public health.
As a reminder to anyone: If a child is born in a high concentration of air pollution, they can experience asthma/asthma-like symptoms later while growing up. Carbon monoxide can kill in an area of poor ventilation.

Just these examples alone make the EPA reversal of “Co2 is harmful to public health” a major partisan hack joke.

EPA are moronic, I remember the 200+ environmental protections Trump killed in his first term of The White House (when I supported him) and some included acts to fight lead / dumping of harmful chemicals in the water and now they are back on the chopping block thanks to Daddy Trump.
Awesome…. I totally support this ….

[MisterWack]

Lee Zeldin is unqualified for the many, for the rich and powerful he is qualified to harm our waterways, eliminate safety protocol, and aid in the dumping of chemicals. Corporations when they don’t follow safety protocol / procedure they make it rain so why would they care?

I'm an environmentalist and strongly oppose polluting our air, water and soil. The EPA didn't do anything to stop that. Neither political party supported that because it would hurt the bottom lines of corporations who externalize their costs.

But I think the idea that CO2 is causing global warming is an epic scam. So cutting climate grants is a good thing. Keep your SMART cars and appliances. Stop spraying our skies with horrible chemicals to dim the sun and "modify" the weather.

Thanks for the MHO, Cubus.

[Cubus]

You're welcome.

Are they grants that would have allowed for truly unbiased research, or was it funding for the propagnda machine disguised as research grants?

[Cubus]

We will probably never know.

What the heck was that money going into. If its effective then spend it … like build some hydrogen facilities for cars.


Else repurpose.


Inflation reduction act… thats a hoot!🦉

[AviatorTom]

The IRA was a political act that doesn't really do anything for climate change, nor to reduce inflation. Kick it away.

[Cubus]

Ironic that IRA actually boosts inflation, despite its name, as it pumps more money into the market.

[Spencer10]

Depends if you believe climate change is a real threat or not. I think I know where the Trump cult stands on this issue.

[Cubus]

Trump cult stands on this one that God will soon come back to Earth and Save everyone, so the planet is not worth investing in.

[Surely]

If the money was going to where it was claimed to be going. Not into the suspected slush fund. So if they can prove where the money is actually being spent. So be it!
If not. Spend the money somewhere else where it can do the more good.

[exitseven]

It was a good move. Too bat the courts are letting some of this waste to actually happen. At least the payoff to Stacey Abrams will be stopped.

Lee zeldin is from long isand ny and an institutional arsonist looking for a camera. Fuck him

[FunkyMonkee]

Great!! It's a HUGE waste of money!!!
