Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement after a federal judge ruled President Trump\u2019s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) illegally cancelled $7 billion in funding for the Solar for All program.\n\nI introduced the Solar for All program to provide loans or grants to working class families to help cover the cost of installing solar rooftops or participating in community-based solar projects. This program would slash electric bills for working families up to 80% \u2014 putting money back in the pockets of ordinary Americans, not fossil fuel billionaires.\n\nUnfortunately, at a time when working families are getting crushed by skyrocketing energy costs and the planet is facing extreme weather and record-breaking temperatures, Donald Trump tried to illegally kill this program to protect the obscene profits of his friends in the oil and gas industry.\n\nHe lost.\n\nYesterday, a federal judge rejected the EPA\u2019s illegal termination of this funding and preserved this enormously important program. Solar for All means lower utility bills, many thousands of good-paying jobs and real action to address the existential threat of climate change. That\u2019s a win-win-win.", 1, "2026-09-20T09:37:28Z", "2026-09-20T09:38:59Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/news-sanders-statement-on-federal-judge-restoring-7-billion-forsolar-for-all/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.243726048618555, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
