"A chaotic back-and-forth over President Donald Trump’s freeze on federal grants and loans has farmers, activists, organizations and businesses wondering whether they will receive the funding they rely on.
It’s funding that among many other things is being used to address environmental problems or tackle climate change.
The White House ordered the freeze on Monday evening, naming some 2,600 programs. Then a federal judge temporarily blocked it. Then the Trump administration rescinded the memo on Wednesday afternoon. ...
“These programs help low-income families reduce their energy costs, enable local governments to fight pollution and put countless Americans to work,” said Zealan Hoover, a former EPA official in Joe Biden’s administration who led implementation of infrastructure and climate laws."
