STATEMENT: Climate Mayors Executive Director Condemns Trump Administration’s Proposed Rollback of Cost-Saving Solar Program
Washington D.C. (August 7, 2025) – Today, Climate Mayors Executive Director Kate Wright issued the following statement in response to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed cancelation of the critical Solar for All program, a $7 billion investment which helps low-income and rural Americans access cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable solar energy. Solar for All is projected to lower energy bills for American households by $400 each year:
“Solar for All is a transformative program helping mayors across the country deliver affordable, reliable, and clean solar energy to families who need it the most,” said Kate Wright, Executive Director of Climate Mayors. “No hardworking family should have to choose between keeping their lights on and putting food on the table. Attempting to cancel Solar for All could result in one million Americans seeing their energy costs go up. Climate Mayors around the country remain steadfast in their commitment to deliver innovative clean energy solutions that lower energy bills, create good-paying jobs, and cut toxic pollution.”
