A climate group linked to high-profile Democrat Stacey Abrams was granted $2 billion by the Biden administration in a “scheme” of “wasteful” spending, the Trump administration’s leading environmental agency<\/a> has revealed.<\/p>\n

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently made a revelation that the Biden administration was allowing just eight entities to distribute $20 billion of taxpayer dollars “at their discretion.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Included in the funds was a $2 billion grant to Power Forward Communities, a nonprofit with ties to former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams that seeks to “reduce our impact on the climate” by financing the replacement of household appliances in lower-income communities with green alternatives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Abrams, who lost the Georgia gubernatorial race in the 2022 midterms, reportedly “played a pivotal role” in establishing the group, according to a LinkedIn post by Ian Magruder, who works at one of the coalition’s partners, Rewiring America.<\/p>\n

“If you care about clean air, land and water, if you think there are some communities that have been left behind, then why aren’t you spending a dollar actually remediating that issue instead of paying off your friend,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.<\/p>\n

The $2 billion was used for the “decarbonization of homes” in low-income communities and paid for new household appliances<\/a>, such as water heaters, induction stoves, solar panels, EV chargers, and weatherization, according to an April 2024 press release from Power Forward Communities.<\/p>\n

Zeldin told Fox News that in 2023, Power Forward Communities reported just $100 in revenue but was later granted $2 billion by the Biden-era EPA in 2024.<\/p>\n

The climate group<\/a> was given only 21 days to distribute the $2 billion, and another 90 days to complete a training session called “How to develop a budget,” Zeldin said.<\/p>\n

“I would say that if an organization needs to take a training on how to develop a budget, one, they should be taking the training before they are spending a dollar, but they definitely shouldn’t be getting two billion [dollars],” the administrator told Fox News.<\/p>\n

“The entire scheme as set up is fraud, it’s wasteful, it’s abuse,” he said.<\/p>\n

Zeldin also noted the EPA found a potential “conflict of interest” payment of $5 billion to the former director of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund under Biden.<\/p>\n

“All this money was put up front,” Zeldin said. “It was \u2018here is $20 billion.\u2019 And it was going to their friends on the left.”<\/p>\n

The news that the Biden administration gave $2 billion to a climate group linked to Abrams was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n
