Judge blocks EPA from canceling $20 billion in Biden era grants

March 19 (UPI) -- A federal judge ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency can't cancel climate grants issued during the Biden administration, but the grantees cannot access the money either.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan stopped the EPA from canceling the distribution of $20 billion that it had deposited in a Citibank account for nonprofits, including Climate United, Coalition for Green Capital and Power Forward Communities.
