It looks like the Biden administration is up to their old tricks again, doling out millions of taxpayers’ dollars to their buddies in the environmental movement. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded a whopping $177 million to 17 different environmental groups, some of which publicly supported the administration’s controversial climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act. It’s clear that this reckless spending is nothing more than an attempt to curry favor with these liberal groups, who have been pushing a radical green agenda for years.
The Biden Admin Hands Out Millions To Green Groups That Supported His Climate Bill https://t.co/I9licsbasy

Among the organizations that received funding are the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), WE ACT for Environmental Justice, and the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice (DSCFEJ), groups that are known for their extreme views and partisan politics. These groups will each receive at least $10 million to act as Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers (EJ TCTACs), with the goal of helping “underserved and overburdened communities” access government funding to support environmental justice initiatives. It’s clear that the Biden administration is using these groups as a way to funnel taxpayer money to their green political allies.

The EPA claims that these EJ TCTACs are in response to community feedback, but who exactly are these “community leaders” that they are referring to? It’s no secret that many of these environmental groups have close ties to the Democratic Party and have donated huge sums of money to their campaigns. It’s clear that the Biden administration is playing favorites with these groups, rather than working to support all Americans equally.
These funds will go a long way in helping these environmental groups push their radical agenda, which includes shutting down fossil fuel industries and forcing Americans to live in a world with expensive, unreliable energy sources. It’s time for the Biden administration to stop catering to these liberal environmental groups and start focusing on the needs of all Americans, regardless of their political affiliations or beliefs.
It’s worth noting that the EPA included organizations like the Research Triangle Institute, a billion-dollar nonprofit with a long-standing relationship with the agency, in this funding. It’s clear that the EPA is happy to throw around money to maintain its long-standing network of crony relationships.
Unfortunately, this type of reckless spending is becoming the norm with the Biden administration, as they continue to push their extreme green agenda at the expense of American taxpayers. The American people deserve better than this, and it’s time for our elected officials to start putting the needs of their constituents ahead of their own political ambitions.
