State attorneys general sue Trump administration for canceled solar program funding
The attorneys general of more than a dozen states on Thursday sued the Trump administration over the termination of $7 billion in funding intended for affordable solar energy projects across the U.S. The coalition argued in the lawsuit that the Environmental Protection Agency’s cancellation of the Solar for All program violated federal law governing federal agencies and constitutional doctrine on separation of powers

3 hours agoThe attorneys general of more than a dozen states on Thursday sued the Trump administration over the termination of $7 billion in funding intended for affordable solar energy projects across the U.S.
