EPA to Terminate $7B in Federal Grants for Rooftop Solar Energy

HeadlineAug 06, 2025

The Environmental Protection Agency is set to terminate $7 billion in federal grants for low- and moderate-income families seeking to install solar panels on their homes. In response, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders wrote, “I introduced the Solar for All program to slash electric bills for working families by up to 80% — putting money back in the pockets of ordinary Americans, not fossil fuel billionaires. Now, Donald Trump wants to illegally kill this program to protect the obscene profits of his friends in the oil and gas industry. That is outrageous.”
