Biden-Harris EPA funnels $41 billion to radical climate groups: report

A new report from the House Energy and Commerce Committee revealed this week that the Biden-Harris administration has siphoned $41 billion in funding to environmental groups that “spread radical, left-leaning ideology” and seek to eliminate fossil fuel production and consumption in the United States.

The report accused the White House of dispensing money to encourage green energy technology "which relies upon supply chains dominated by the Chinese Communist Party."

The committee documented how the Delaware Valley Citizens Council for Clean Air welcomed money to stop fracking and “make biking, walking, transit, and electric vehicles the primary” means of transportation by eschewing fossil fuels. The West Harlem Environmental Action, Incorporated (WE ACT) received $10 million in its fight to halt new natural gas operations that represent “false solution infrastructure."

“Simply put, the EPA is awarding taxpayer dollars to special interest groups committed to a radical energy agenda to ‘educate’ others,” the report read.

The US only produces one-third of its solar panels in-country while China supplies the rest, just as it produces 98 percent of the global supply, the Daily Mail observed, adding that the Biden-Harris administration has slapped a 39 percent tariff on solar imports from China.

But the committee said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was subject to virtually no Congressional oversight when it dispensed $41.5 billion in grants to nonprofit groups available through the the Biden-Harris Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. President Joe Biden admitted that the act was nothing more than a green energy spending spree and the administration touts it as the biggest bill intended to tackle climate change ever. Commenting on that arrangement, Committee Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) said, “It couldn't be more clear: The Biden-Harris administration rewards its environmental special interests at the expense of the American people.”

She said it is “equally as alarming” that “these policies benefit the Chinese Communist Party — the world's worst polluter.” Approximately $2.8 billion in the EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights (OEJECR) budget was another source of outrage in the report. So was the $50 million given to the Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) that targets the “social, racial, economic and environmental justice issues of climate change.”

CJA has been entrusted with the bizarre task of using mirrors to reflect light back into space, supposedly to fight climate change. It also coordinates Rust Belt Harvest, which “harvests and distributes surplus urban fruit and vegetables in Buffalo, NY.”

The report indicts the EPA for gross neglect of responsibility. “While the EPA claims these grants will facilitate community involvement in federal decision-making, many of the selectees are connected to large, well-funded environmental organizations pushing for specific public policy outcomes. Wealthy environmental organizations, activists, and donors have employed a new strategy of channeling funding to ‘grassroots’ organizations to promote their agendas. Many of these supposedly “community-based nonprofit organizations” 86 already receive considerable funding from large, wealthy advocacy groups.”
