Applaud the Court for Protecting Clean Energy Investments

A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration's effort to rescind billions of dollars in clean energy funding that Congress approved through the Inflation Reduction Act. The court found that the Environmental Protection Agency likely acted unlawfully by attempting to claw back funds based solely on a policy disagreement.

These investments were created to help finance projects that reduce pollution, expand access to clean energy, lower utility costs, and create jobs in communities across the country. Programs like these can help families save money while supporting healthier neighborhoods and a stronger economy.

The court's ruling also reinforces an important constitutional principle: federal agencies must carry out the laws that Congress passes. Administrations cannot simply disregard funding authorized by law because they disagree with the policy behind it.

By restoring protections for these funds while the case proceeds, the court has upheld the rule of law and helped ensure that communities can continue working toward cleaner, healthier, and more affordable energy solutions.

Add your name to applaud the federal appeals court for protecting clean energy investments, defending the rule of law, and standing up for communities counting on lower energy costs and cleaner air.
