Much of the ‘Green Energy’ Funding Was Money Laundering

State agencies remain in an “administrative and planning phase,.”

Every time the Trump administration pulls back money that was supposed to be allocated for Lefty Agenda X or Radical  Policy Y, there are howls of outrage, but it’s curious how little of the money was actually used to do anything.

Take California, please.

The Trump administration wants to cancel solar programs that let everyday people tap into nearby panels. In California, the technology never even got off the ground.

Almost none of the $250 million that California received from the Inflation Reduction Act’s Solar for All program, which the Trump administration is making plans to terminate as soon as this week, has made it out the door yet.

The EPA announced in April 2024 that it was giving the state a $250 million award. To date, the CPUC, which is responsible for the grant, has distributed next to nothing.

State agencies remain in an “administrative and planning phase,” according to the CPUC website.

A lot of the ‘green energy’ funding is like this, allocated but never spent, used to bolster stock value at companies expecting to get the money, allocated for programming expenses at the organizations planning on how to distribute the money, and otherwise used to fund the Democrat political machine rather than spending it for its putative purpose.
