On this Earth Day, let's commend the Biden Administration for awarding $20 billion in federal financial support for clean-energy projects to help combat climate change and pollution in disadvantaged communities.
The source of money for this important, groundbreaking investment is the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund established in the Inflation Reduction Act, President Biden's signature climate law. The funds will be invested in clean-energy technologies such as solar panels or charging stations for electric vehicles.
The program will make low-interest loans available for clean-energy projects that otherwise would be unable to be financed by banks or other lenders reluctant to support new technology or a business without a record of success.
Some $27 billion will be used to help nonprofit organizations launch and operate clean-energy projects, providing better lending rates than commercial banks. The program also helps to leverage private investments, a step that will multiply the funds actually available for clean-energy projects.

FEATURED VIDEO INTERVIEW
n 2020, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina’s First Congressional District, edged out Democratic incumbent Rep. Joe Cunningham…who had been the first Democrat to flip a House seat in South Carolina in 30 years. Mace won by just 5,400 votes, or one percent.
Then, two years ago, following redistricting, Mace won reelection by 14 percent.
Since then, Mace was critical of Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021 MAGA attack on the U.S. Capitol, but she’s endorsed Trump – despite the many criminal charges against him and his conviction for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s.
Now, forward-thinking business executive Michael B. Moore is one of two Democrats running in the June 11 SC primary for the chance to oppose Mace in November. As he focuses on carrying the family legacy, his opponent in the primary is attorney Mac Deford, who’s interview on this podcast is now streaming.
We’re pleased to have Michael Moore with us on the Lean to the Left podcast,
Uncover the truth behind 'The Kecksburg UFO: The Story of the Century' with UFO investigator Stan Gordon. Explore the mysterious events of 1965 and beyond.
It was in the early evening of Thursday, December 9, 1965 that the night editor of the Greensburg, PA, Tribune-Review sent me to the little rural community of Kecksburg, PA, to cover the reported landing of an unidentified flying object in the woods near a farmer’s field.
When I arrived, armed soldiers blocked access to what was the reported landing site and I was told that if I ventured into that field, I would be arrested. Yet, the soldier in charge told me that “nothing” had happened.
Fast forward to today. We have with us on the Lean to the Left podcast UFO investigator Stan Gordon, a Pennsylvanian who for these past 59 years has been searching for the truth about what really happened that night.
Stan has been researching UFO sightings, Bigfoot encounters, and other mysterious events in Pennsylvania since 1959, so when the Kecksburg incident occurred, it was right in his wheelhouse...
