Under EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, the freeze on unspent climate grants has put a spotlight on the Biden administration’s reckless green spending. Among the most questionable allocation is a $2 billion payout to Power Forward Communities, a coalition now facing scrutiny over its oversight, distribution, and political favoritism. Stacey Abrams is directly tied to the grant through Rewiring America, one of the organizations at its center.

Trump even called this out during his recent speech to a joint session of Congress: "Why is Stacey Abrams’s group getting billions of taxpayer dollars while hardworking Americans can barely afford their energy bills?"
The Coalition Cashing In
Power Forward Communities consists of five organizations, none of which have any serious connection to conservation. Enterprise Community Partners is a housing nonprofit with deep ties to federal housing programs. Habitat for Humanity International, best known for building homes, is now branching into the climate grift. The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) is a community development group specializing in leveraging government funds. Rewiring America, an aggressive electrification lobbying group, is tied to Stacey Abrams. United Way Worldwide, a large umbrella nonprofit, is now entangled in climate spending.
Collectively, these groups claim to be “transforming affordable housing” by electrifying homes and pushing energy-efficient upgrades. But electrification is not conservation, and throwing billions at retrofits does nothing to address real environmental issues. Democrats’ version of environmentalism is climate-obsessed rhetoric interlaced with social justice — conspicuously leaving out nature and conservation.
Electrification: A Costly Shell Game
The coalition’s plan focuses on replacing gas appliances with electric ones, installing solar panels, and rolling out heat pumps. The problem? Electrification mandates increase energy costs without guaranteeing lower emissions.
