Summary
Biden announces $7 billion in federal grants for residential solar projects. He also plans to expand his New Deal-style American Climate Corps green jobs program. The grants are being awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency. The projects are expected to eventually reduce emissions by the equivalent of 30 million tons of carbon dioxide.
The awards are part of the $27 billion “green energy’ program. The program is intended to reduce pollution. The money will be used to pay for clean energy projects. The other $20 billion will be spent on other programs. The programs are intended to help people in need.
