For the entire four years of the Biden administration, American Stewards consistently reported in Liberty Matters that the “Green New Deal” was a scam benefitting his liberal environmental friends.
Now, the U.S. House Oversight Committee appears to agree by confirming in a report that a handful of Biden’s allies financially benefited with billions of taxpayer dollars being funneled to pay for massive salaries and luxurious travel benefits to a small number of executives.
The report states: “In 2023, the Biden Administration earmarked $27 billion for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to advance Democrats’ radical “environmental justice” agenda. The EPA awarded $20 billion from the GGRF to just eight nonprofits. These awards created a Green New Deal grift by increasing the nonprofits’ assets by as much as 2,000,000,000%.”
Fortunately, on March 11, 2025, President Trump’s EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin, terminated these grant agreements due to concerns over widespread waste, fraud, and abuse as discovered by DOGE.
The EPA’s acting Inspector General is now investigating potential financial mismanagement, conflicts of interest, and oversight failures within the GGRF. The EPA has formally referred the GGRF to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for potential financial mismanagement, conflicts of interest, and fraud.
The report states: “It’s clear the Biden Administration turned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) into a vehicle for rewarding political allies, all while risking the stability of our energy infrastructure and burdening American families with higher utility costs,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement.
“Americans deserve better than this green energy scam disguised as environmental justice, and Oversight Republicans will continue to hold the Biden Administration accountable to ensure the EPA operates as intended and that taxpayer dollars are spent transparently, responsibly, and in the best interest of the American people,” he added.
