Solar for None? What's next after federal program axed.
Soldier on. Hang it up. Fight. Those are some of the options that solar energy nonprofits and states are weighing after the Trump administration moved last week to terminate the Biden-era $7 billion Solar for All program. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin argued that July's passage of President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act means the agency lacks both the authority and the money 'to keep this boondoggle alive.' So far, none of the 60 awardees has announced plans to challenge the actions nor to agree to the terminations. But three recipients, granted anonymity to speak about internal discussions, told our Jean Chemnick they're weighing both options — including whether to accept EPA's offer for access to money to help wind down their programs. EPA is 'basically trying to make it sound like you'll never get your funding unless you agree to their terms, and that's just not correct,' Jillian Blanchard, vice president of climate and environmental justice at Lawyers for Good Government, told Jean about EPA's termination notices. 'People are owed what they're owed.' President Joe Biden's climate law created Solar for All as part of the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. It was designed to promote community solar energy in underserved areas, through grants to each state and territory, though some grants went to nonprofits in states whose leaders did not want it. The awards ranged from $43.5 million to nearly $250 million. The Trump administration has been trying for months to terminate the other $20 billion of grants in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, but Solar for All had been safe, until Trump's megabill became law. Representatives of the three recipients told Jean that some awardees don't have the money to continue their activities without the federal money. Some can't even access EPA's grant portal to cover past outlays. Duanne Andrade, executive director of the Solar and Energy Loan Fund, which received a $156 million grant to set up a solar revolving loan for Florida, called EPA's move 'disheartening.' 'In Florida, we're about to see the highest energy rate increase in history,' she told Jean. 'And all of this impacts low- and moderate-income people more than anyone. These are the people that are paying more already for capital, for energy, for housing, for everything.' Senate Democrats enter the frayMeanwhile, supporters of Solar for All are pushing back on the Trump administration's justification for terminating the grants. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) argued in a Friday letter that the Republican law repealed only unobligated funds. EPA had already obligated the Solar for All money, so it can't be clawed back, they said, citing statements from congressional Republicans and the Congressional Budget Office. 'Neither CBO nor Republicans understood the repeal and rescission of the GGRF to save anything more than EPA's unspent oversight dollars,' the Democrats write. 'Wishful statutory interpretation on the part of EPA does not enable EPA to cancel lawfully obligated grants.' It's Friday — thank you for tuning in to POLITICO's Power Switch.

Send your tips, comments, questions to tcama@ Today in POLITICO Energy's podcast: Jessie Blaeser breaks down the exaggerated cost-savings numbers from the Department of Government Efficiency. Power Centers Wind, solar crackdown deepensThe Treasury Department tightened the rules Friday for renewable energy projects to qualify for federal tax credits. The new Treasury Department guidance would undo years of existing practice defining when a solar or wind project has started construction, a key metric that spells out when developers can claim tax credits, Kelsey Tamborrino and James Bikales report. The guidance comes after Trump ordered Treasury in July to tighten the definition for the start of construction, in an attempt to limit 'market distorting subsidies for unreliable, foreign controlled energy sources.' The Treasury rules have been at the center of tug-of-war between Republican moderates and hardliners in recent months, Benjamin Storrow writes. Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and John Curtis of Utah, moderate Republicans, have argued that Treasury should continue to employ the traditional definition for the start of construction, while conservatives like Rep. Chip Roy of Texas have argued for a more stringent definition. The still-mysterious Empire Wind studyA federal records request by POLITICO's E&E News returned an almost completely redacted study by the Trump administration that had been used to justify canceling the Empire Wind project off the New York coast earlier this year, Ian M. Stevenson and Mike Soraghan write. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the Biden administration 'rushed approval' of the project based on 'flawed science.' Construction later restarted, but Interior has repeatedly refused to release the study cited by Burgum. In the copy of the report, 27 pages were fully blacked out. Interior cited a 'deliberative process' privilege that agencies sometimes use. Plastics treaty negotiations collapseUnited Nations talks on a treaty to end plastic pollution collapsed in the early hours of Friday morning, as countries failed to agree on the basic parameters of the text. The latest setback in discussions followed a 10-day summit in Geneva, Switzerland.

GoDaddy Inc. (GDDY): Jim Cramer Is Surprised At Morgan Stanley's Report

Here are his latest thoughts about Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG): '[On why ELF was selling its products in Dollar General] Because it's the last one. The shorts are telling me, not that I listen to the shorts, but the shorts are saying, what's after Dollar General? Is there anything after? Previously, Cramer discussed Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG)'s consumer spending estimates: 'I had a, this outfit called HundredX on last night, it was a terrific Goldman guy who's left Goldman to do this. Robert Pace. The indications of spend for the consumer, it's going up. I mean, nothing is as it seems.
