9:55Now PlayingUS News: Senator Bernie Sanders erupts during a heated Senate hearing, taking aim at EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin over cuts to solar funding and rising energy costs. At a Senate Energy Committee hearing on Wednesday, Sanders (I-VT) sparred with Zeldin, accusing the Trump administration of undermining efforts to lower electricity bills for working Americans. Sanders pointed to the benefits of rooftop solar, arguing that it can “reduce electric rates by 70, 80, 90%” while also cutting carbon emissions and addressing climate change.
The Vermont senator specifically criticized the rollback of the $7 billion “Solar for All” program, which was designed to expand access to affordable clean energy. “People want lower electric rates. They want to protect the environment,” Sanders said, pressing Zeldin on whether he would support restoring the funding.
In a fiery moment, Sanders accused the administration of harming millions of Americans, telling Zeldin: “You took away the opportunity of millions of people to see lower electric rates.” He also challenged the agency’s handling of the program, adding, “You want to make the program more efficient? Come on in, let’s chat about it.”
The exchange highlights growing political tensions over energy policy, climate action, and the future of renewable energy in the United States.
