Transparency sought for greenhouse gas reduction program

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is asking its internal watchdog to investigate the allocation of $20 billion in grant funding from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin emphasized the need for accountability, stating that the funds for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund require responsible management. Zeldin's call for the investigation follows concerns raised by Project Veritas about the distribution of the funds, with the DOJ and FBI also reportedly examining the program.
