Biden’s $20 Billion Green Energy Slush Fund Exposed
This week, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released a report showing conflicts of interest, financial mismanagement, and oversight failures with Biden’s green energy grant program. The report exposes a “green energy scam” buried within the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act. About $20 billion in taxpayer money was funneled through the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to just eight nonprofits. Many of which appeared to be newly established, had limited assets, and were closely tied to Democratic allies.
PTF Founder, Daniel Turner, recently testified at a House Oversight subcommittee hearing titled “Public Funds, Private Agendas: NGOs Gone Wild.” The hearing aimed to pull back the curtain on this dangerous system discussed in the report, where billions of taxpayer dollars are funneled into the pockets of politically connected climate activists. Throughout the hearing, Daniel warned that radical environmental groups, aided by unaccountable federal bureaucrats, have turned the green agenda into a billion-dollar cash grab under the guise of climate action.
Fox News reports,
“The report released by Oversight Republicans details how committee staff reviewed “tens of thousands” of documents produced by the GGRF awardees in question. The documents also included EPA materials for reviewing and awarding the GGRF funds, among other records.
The report shows how the EPA judged the applicants using a scoring system that awarded points for different parts of the nonprofits’ proposals. For example, flawless “financial risk management” awarded a total of 85 points, while flawless “legal and compliance risk management” could provide an applicant up to 40 possible points. Meanwhile, the EPA weighted “equity and environmental justice” the same way it did “financial statements” and more than it weighted good “governance” or “legal and compliance risk management,” among other categories.”
The grants raise serious red flags. One group, Climate United Fund, reported just $95,000 in assets in 2023, yet walked away with nearly $7 billion. Another, Power Forward Communities, had just $100 on its books before raking in a staggering $2 billion from the fund. The Oversight report shows these nonprofits received sky-high evaluations not for financial strength or governance, but because of their “climate equity” and DEI policies.
Even worse, the money appears to have been given to eco-left insiders. Executives at Climate United and Power Forward come directly from the climate teams of the Biden and Obama administrations.
Instead of providing real energy solutions, the Biden administration’s $20 billion green bank experiment seems more like a taxpayer-funded jackpot for well-connected insiders, precisely the kind of corruption we have been warning about all along.
