The Trump administration has canceled a $7 billion solar energy grant program initiated under the Biden administration, known as Solar for All, which aimed to reduce electric bills for approximately 900,000 low-income families and promote clean energy across the United States. This move is part of a broader pattern by the Trump administration, which has halted or canceled wind and solar projects totaling over $22 billion. Additionally, the administration revoked a $156 million grant intended to help low-income Floridians afford solar panels, impacting energy equity and economic growth in the state. Furthermore, a $60 million federal grant for Miami's Underdeck park in the Overtown neighborhood was also canceled, prompting local officials and business associations to prepare to fight for the project's continuation despite the setback. These actions reflect a shift away from federal support for clean energy initiatives and related community development projects.
