One intriguing sign is that eco-activists in Washington, DC.. anticipate a different political climate after the November election.
Team Biden is flooding climate projects with billions from the nation’s coffers.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced $4.3 billion in funding on Monday for 25 new projects proposed by states, tribes, local governments and territories to tackle climate change. The funding could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 971 million metric tons by 2050, or roughly the emissions of five million homes over 25 years, according to the agency.
Among the jurisdictions that will get funding, Nebraska will receive $307 million to reduce agricultural waste and enhance energy efficiency in homes and buildings. Pennsylvania will get $396 million to reduce industrial pollution and create about 6,000 jobs.
Admittedly, it could also be an effort to gin up enthusiasm among a base that appears less than excited about Democratic presidential candidate manipulations.
