Trump's Climate Funding Fiasco Takes a Hit The appeals court ruling against the Trump administration's decision to terminate billions of dollars intended for clean energy projects is a significant setback for those seeking to dismantle President Joe Biden's efforts to combat climate change.
The closely divided ruling, which favors a coalition of nonprofits selected to spearhead the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, underscores the complex and often contentious nature of climate policy in the United States.
The Trump administration's actions were a clear attempt to undermine the program, with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin accusing Climate United Fund and other chosen nonprofits of mismanagement and potential fraud.
