""This is really about ensuring that every person in this country is experiencing the best quality of life as possible with clean energy technology providing that landing,'' he said."

"Two programs, worth $14 billion and $6 billion, respectively, will offer competitive grants to nonprofits and other groups to invest in clean energy projects, with a focus on disadvantaged communities, the White House says."

"The Biden administration is making available $20 billion from a federal "green bank" for clean energy projects such as residential heat pumps, electric vehicle charging stations and community cooling centers."

""These funds will serve as a force multiplier for private investment in clean energy projects to cut emissions and promote environmental justice in underserved communities across the country,'' said Van Hollen, who will attend the ceremony at Coppin State University with Harris and other officials."

"Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat who first introduced legislation to create a national green bank 14 years ago, said the grants will accelerate deployment of clean energy in underserved communities such as Baltimore that have been disproportionately harmed by pollution and climate change."

""This is exciting because it's also directionally where the market is already going,'' Regan said."
