For President Biden, start 22:00

In honor of Earth Day, President Biden announced $7 billion in grants for solar energy projects serving lower and middle income communities at an event in northern Virginia.

The administration intends the program to ease the high startup costs for residential solar.
That could help create a lower-cost, more reliable electric grid than the present fossil-fuel heavy system, in addition to reducing the relative climate impact of power generation.

Biden is also expected to share plans to create 2,000 jobs in the American Climate Corps, a federal program based on the New Deal policies of Franklin Roosevelt. The event’s location is itself a nod to the earlier president: Prince William Forest Park, created in 1936 through the work of the Roosevelt administration’s Civilian Conservation Corps.
