Washington, April 16 -- Late yesterday, Judge Mary McElroy of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island-appointed to the bench by Donald Trump in 2019-ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully withheld funding when it unilaterally froze awards and grants authorized by the landmark Inflation Reduction Act climate law and the bipartisan infrastructure law. The judge ordered EPA, the Department of Energy, and other agencies to immediately resume disbursing funds authorized by both laws.

Since it was signed into law in August of 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act has created more than 400,000 clean energy jobs across the United States and helped millions of Americans save billions in reduced energy costs annually.
