Efficiency Maine has lost access to $15 million in federal funding meant to boost clean energy and energy efficient projects in the state. The fund was part of a $20 billion clean bank established by the Biden-era Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced this week the funding would be terminated as part of the Trump administration's ongoing mission to seek out what it is calling fraud and abuse of public funds.
