This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Environmental Protection Agency is set to announce $4.3 billion in funding on Monday afternoon for 25 new projects proposed by states, tribes, local governments and territories to tackle climate change.
Among the jurisdictions that will get funding, Nebraska will receive $307 million to reduce agricultural waste and enhance energy efficiency in homes and buildings.
Other regions that will receive money included Southern California to decarbonize freight vehicles; Michigan and tribal partners to adopt new renewable energy projects; Atlantic coastal states to sequester carbon through wetland preservation; Alaska to replace residential oil-burning systems with heat pumps; and the Nez Percé Tribe to retrofit homes.
States, plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, were each eligible to receive $3 million to create climate action plans in 2023 during the program’s first phase.
When a state chose not to apply, the funding defaulted to its three largest metro areas, providing $1 million to develop a plan.
If states were able to do everything their climate action plans promised, it could result in at least a 7 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions nationwide by 2030, equivalent to taking almost one-third of gasoline cars off the road or decommissioning half the nation’s methane plants, according to an analysis by the Rocky Mountain Institute.
