DOE Launches Green Energy Spending Bill That Ignores Red States
According to a Department of Energy release on Wednesday, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Washington, D.C., will be the targets for an initiative that will develop community solar projects.The release justified its picks by saying, “DOE has prioritized working with states that have existing programs to support low-income community solar development.”
Although red states are left out of the project, Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm said, “Every American community, especially those that face disproportionately higher energy burdens, deserves the economic and health benefits that come with increased access to affordable clean energy.”
The project said the states involved “will provide feedback, coordination, and data to test the operability, security, and performance of the platform.”
The release said the states favored by President Joe Biden will see power usage reductions of 20 percent in Illinois, New Jersey, New York and New Mexico, and 50 percent in Colorado and Washington, D.C.
