Remember when Joe Biden promised to Build Back Better? He rode that slogan into the Oval Office, building an expensive and vast regulatory agenda that mismanaged taxpayers’ money and handed out subsidies and tax credits like a drug dealer giving free samples to hook new customers. Yet perhaps one of the president’s biggest boondoggles is the system his administration built to funnel billions of dollars to “radical activist groups” – under the guise of environmental justice (EJ) – with scant oversight and little accountability.
This could go on for years unless Donald Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency can finagle a way to rescind the money earmarked for these climate-related programs. But should Trump shut it down? What would the country lose?
The Injustice of Environmental Justice
The White House’s website says environmental justice is supposed to “address the disproportionate health, environmental, and economic impacts that have been borne primarily by communities of color.” That sounds righteous but is hard to swallow when Americans’ tax dollars are being dispersed to “special interest groups committed to a radical energy agenda to ‘educate’ others and drive public outreach,” according to a recent report by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, “the oldest standing legislative committee in the U.S. House of Representatives.” The report goes on to suggest the operation is “akin to taxpayer-funded lobbying.”
Much of the cash comes from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the climate bill Biden signed in 2022 and has gushed publicly about when trying to bolster his legacy. The IRA quadrupled the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) budget, bringing it to $41 billion, including $3 billion designated for environmental justice (EJ) grants. These are frequently awarded to far-left organizations that strive to exert political influence and “engage in progressive election activities.” One program uses a “pass-through” model to give $600 million to 11 “grant makers” for distribution to other recipients. Many of these groups display anti-Republican views, support “radical progressive ideologies,” and have billionaire donors already backing them, claimed the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Biden laid the groundwork for all this when, a week after he was inaugurated, he signed Executive Order 14008, which included the Justice40 Initiative, a measure that requires 40% of federal climate investments go to “disadvantaged communities.” Federal agencies were then wrapped in red tape, directed “to ‘secure environmental justice and spur economic opportunity’ for ‘marginalized’ communities,” explained the City Journal, a public policy magazine. “Instead of focusing on their core missions … federal officials are now tasked with ‘stakeholder consultation,’ collecting data on how programs benefit disadvantaged communities, and filing lengthy reports to the White House Office of Environmental Justice.” […]
