Cathie Mahon: The fight for clean energy funding
Manage episode 477519374 series 2542930
The Trump administration is continuing its efforts to claw back $20 billion worth of Biden-era climate funding for low-income communities — part of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. For now, the $20 billion remains frozen in a Citibank account, preventing eight organizations from distributing the money that would finance tens of thousands of projects across the country to fight climate change. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has accused the recipients of the program of misconduct and waste.
Cathie Mahon is the president and CEO of Inclusiv, one of the groups in charge of disbursing the now-frozen funds. She joined NY1’s Errol Louis to discuss the latest in this financial battle with the Trump administration. They also touched on the group’s ongoing efforts to defend the program and demonstrate its benefits for low-income communities.
