The Illinois Power Agency says it does not have direct knowledge of an solar projects participating in their programs that have been denied funding due to the U.S. EPA’s funding pause. But, a state lawmaker hopes the pause will halt solar projects.
State Representative Chris Miller said a lot of these people, who sign up for panel installation through the Solar For All program, are selling their souls for the sake of putting a few bucks in their pocket.
The IPA does not yet know how the pause on EPA clean energy funding will affect Illinois, but they continue to monitor the situation. Miller said he believes Illinoisans should have the right to what they want to with their private property, but explained he’s against taxpayers subsidizing the solar panel industry.
U.S. Senator Dick Durbin said on social media that the Trump Administration’s “unconstitutional funding freeze” continues to deny states billions of dollars in obligated funds.
