The Trump administration has stripped Maine of a $62 million grant to help low income households access solar power.In a Thursday letter to the state, the Environmental Protection Agency said the recent Republican tax law, called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, revoked the $7 billion "Solar for All" national grant program."Thus, any attempt to continue the program’s administration, in the absence of any authorizing legislation or appropriated funds for that purpose, is no longer legally permissible," the agency said.But supporters of the national program claim it is being shut down illegally and will hurt Americans struggling with high electric bills."Canceling the program deprives Maine of access to affordable solar, energy storage, and the skilled electricians, installers, and construction workers needed to meet our energy and economic needs now and in the future," said Dan Burgess, director of the Maine Governor's Energy Office.
On top of this, Trump's tariffs are adding 25% to our electric bills because much of our electricity comes from Canada. We used to have a border were if you needed more more milk to could just walk to the store just down the street in Canada to buy it.
Now thanks to Trump, we are no longer the friendly neighbor... 11% of our power here in New England comes from Canada! And thanks to Trump it is 25% more and he just cut funding for solar panels now.
What else are we going to buried in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”?
Trump wants us to bend over and say "Thank you master!"
