The Democrats have seized Washington, DC. The Democrat Party officially adopted a primary-focused, delegate-selection process for the 1972 election, following major reforms after the chaotic 1968 convention. This shift aimed to reduce the power of party bosses and make the nomination process more inclusive and transparent, establishing the modern era of presidential primaries. It is part of the New Communist Movement, 1969-1979. Mao Zedong viewed the U.S. as an imperialist power and supported revolutionary movements, including those aimed at undermining U.S. influence. Maoist ideology was seen as a direct challenge to American capitalist and democratic values, creating, from the U.S. perspective, a "loss of China" in 1949 and a long-term hostile relationship. Zedong famously characterized the United States as an "imperialist" power and a "paper tiger" destined to be defeated by revolutionary struggles. He criticized U.S. "monopoly capitalist groups" for aggression in Taiwan and Vietnam, while expressing support for American civil rights movements. Key quotes reflect his view of the U.S. as a primary target for global, anti-colonial unification. Zedong said, "A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” Mao was a Chinese revolutionary, politician, writer, political theorist and the founder of the People's Republic of China. He led China primarily as the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from its establishment in October 1949 until his death in September 1976. The Vietnam War was never formally declared a war by the U.S. Congress; The Democrats held the majority in both the House and the Senate throughout the active years of the Vietnam War (roughly 1964–1975); Now Democrats want to call a short term military conflict in Iran a War, Democrats want no "War against the Revolution"!
Paul Costello in "A Critical History of the New Communist Movement, 1969-1979" writes, "The mass struggles of the 1960s, civil rights and Black liberation, anti-war and student struggles and the numerous other mass phenomena, women’s liberation, the new left and the counter-culture were all responses to the new stage of US imperialism and the unfolding crisis of late capitalism. The confusing character of the times was reflected in the confused proliferation of mass activity, which often erupted spontaneously, with movements developing independently of one another. The new communist movement did not develop organically out of any one of the mass movements of the 1960s. In fact, it developed only when these movements began to wane. While it drew its membership largely from young people who had been involved in mass activity, its ideology and practice were derived from a number of different sources. Before we examine these sources it is necessary to take a brief look at the only significant anti-revisionist communist force which was actively involved in the mass struggles of the 1960s: the Progressive Labor Party (PLP)." Costello continues, "We have no interest in worshipping old icons, or in setting up new ones. Our only interest is in the future of revolutionary Marxism in the United States. It is this interest and our commitment to it which has led us to reject the foundations upon which the new communist movement and its progeny were, and continue to be, constructed. It is this commitment which has led us to attempt to assist in the construction of another kind of communism, one free of mythology and the shackles of the past. It is this commitment which has compelled us to fight for living, critical, revolutionary Marxist theory and a politics and practice consonant with it."
President Donald Trump and Congress, DC has been under a Marxist Revolution since 1972, born out of the various movements of the 1960's. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) exerted influence on certain U.S. movements during the 1960s, primarily by providing ideological, theoretical, and, in some cases, symbolic support to radical left-wing and black nationalist groups who were disillusioned with both mainstream American politics and the Soviet Union. This influence was part of a broader, global effort by Beijing to promote Maoism as a militant alternative to Soviet "revisionism". Mao's influence on more radical factions of the 1960s U.S. movements, such as the Black Panther Party and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which adopted Maoist ideology and "The Little Red Book". Zedong and Maoism heavily influenced the Weather Underground (WUO). As a radical offshoot of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the group adopted Maoist ideology, focusing on anti-imperialism, third-world revolution, and the "people's war" strategy, aiming to overthrow the U.S. government through violent, revolutionary action. President Bill "He likes 'em youmg" Clinton granted Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn clemency. President Obama faced intense scrutiny during his 2008 campaign regarding his professional and neighborhood acquaintance with Bill Ayers, a founder of the group, and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, who were also associated with the Weather Underground. Members of the Weather Underground, known initially as the Weathermen, claimed responsibility for a series of bombings, including non-fatal but destructive ones at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol. Truly, an insurredtion! The 1971 Weather Underground bombing of the U.S. Capitol is generally classified by the FBI and historians as an act of domestic terrorism. It was a planned, symbolic attack by a small radical group. In addition, three members died when their bomb-making session at a New York City town house went awry in 1970, and several members were convicted in a botched 1981 Brink's truck ambush during which two police officers and a guard died. The Weather Underground was heavily influenced by Mao Zedong and Maoist ideology. As a radical offshoot of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), they embraced Marxist-Leninist doctrines, viewing themselves as revolutionaries combating U.S. imperialism through violence, directly inspired by Mao's theory of international struggle and "people's war". Former congresswoman and former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said, “I mean, who is she [Hillary Clinton]? I mean, she is an economic Marxist so she feels very much at home in those Mao suits.”
The District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973, signed by President Richard Nixon, granted D.C. residents limited self-governance, allowing them to elect a mayor, council, and Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners. It authorized the local government to pass laws, though Congress retains final authority over the budget, local legislation, and appoints local judges. Congress reviews all legislation passed by the Council before it becomes law. Congress can intervene in local matters, such as overriding local laws on criminal justice or social issues. The Act was a compromise that established an elected government while keeping the District under federal supervision as a non-state entity. It followed a long, sometimes interrupted, push for local self-control, with the 50th anniversary observed in 2023. Invaded by Chrisian Socialists. People who want to say they "Love Karl Marx" but also "Love Jesus Christ". Jesus says, "No one can serve two masters. (Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13)" Marx fundamentally opposed Christian socialism, viewing it as a hypocritical "holy water" justification for aristocratic heart-burnings and a tool that promoted submissive, passive behavior among the working class. While Christian socialists aimed to harmonize Christian ethics with social equality, Marx viewed religion as a detrimental ideology ("opium") that inhibited true revolutionary struggle, favoring instead a materialistic, structural, and often violent dismantling of capitalist society. Christian Socialists-"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:5)" Marx is calling Christian Socialists "hypocrites". In the Blue Letter Bible Lexicon Strong's G5273 - hypokritēs is defined:
- one who answers, an interpreter
- an actor, stage player
- a dissembler, pretender, hypocrite
Christian socialism signifies a movement that blends Christian values with social justice and egalitarian principles. Although more historically aligned with labor movements, recent developments have highlighted the presence and influence of Christian socialists in Washington, D.C.
- Multi-Faith Engagement: Various faith leaders, including those from progressive Christian backgrounds, are organizing to challenge government practices they view as contrary to Christianity's core tenets. This includes efforts to document abuses, offer community support, and rally against harmful policies.
- Coalition Building: There are ongoing initiatives where Christian socialists align with other faith-based advocacy groups to champion progressive legislation, effectively increasing their presence in governmental discussions and activism.

The Democrats seized the District in their pursuit to overthrow the federal government, the Constitution, and the Nation. People in DC swear their allegiance to the Party and its icons before God, family and country. This alliance has destroyed justice, education and the well-being of the Nation's cultural institutions for the sake of the Revolution. The Revolution silently defeated the Republicans and seized the Capitol City. In the 1970s, the US did not experience a Marxist revolution, but the "New Politics" movement aimed to shift the Democratic Party leftward, incorporating New Left activists from antiwar and social movements. Socialist groups like the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) sought to align labor and social movements within the Democratic Party, while separate Marxist-Leninist groups, such as the Revolutionary Communist Party (founded 1969) or the Democratic Workers Party (1974-1987), operated outside it.
The Democrats have seized the Capitol City. Republicans must take it back and save it from National Security threats. Vladimir Lenin viewed the seizure of Moscow in 1917 as a critical, potentially bloodless, and immediate necessity to establish Bolshevik power alongside Petrograd. He believed that taking Moscow first or simultaneously would secure a "tremendous basis" for the revolution. He later relocated the capital to Moscow in 1918 to ensure security and centralize administration. Lenin led the Bolshevik party to power during the October Revolution of 1917, overthrowing the Provisional Government and seizing control of key cities. While the main uprising occurred in Petrograd on November 7, 1917, Bolshevik forces also fought to take control of Moscow against armed resistance. The Bolsheviks were a radical, far-left faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) that split from the Mensheviks in 1903, led by Vladimir Lenin. Under Lenin's leadership, they seized power in the October Revolution of 1917, transforming Russia into the first socialist state and eventually forming the USSR. The capital city is usually but not always a primary target in a war, as capturing it usually guarantees capture of much of the enemy government, victory for the attacking forces, or at the very least demoralization for the defeated forces.
Dr. Calvin Rolark, founder of The Washington Informer and a stalwart proponent of D.C. Home Rule, advocated for local control over key institutions to increase citizen involvement and ensure an independent judiciary. He strongly supported mayoral appointment of judges over federal control and favored an elected Attorney General for the District. Dr. Rolark wrote in the Informer's "The District’s Home Rule History and Statehood Goal", “I think it’s theoretically possible [to gain statehood], though I don’t think there is enough energy in the streets to make it happen. Ultimately you have to scare the members of Congress by un-electing some of them as we saw in 1972 and there is not enough energy to un-elect people in any significant way,” [Walter E.] Fauntroy said. “I am probably a little less hopeful now than I was at the time that I wrote Home Rule and this was over a decade ago, in part because I think that the kind of street mobilization that you need is not on the radar of many of the people who need to be in the streets and organizing not just here in the District but around the country to try to get this done. I’m frustrated, very frustrated by that generally.” Fauntroy was a socialist Christian like Dr. King.
Can you overthrow the Nation when 76% of the people want Revolution?
Based on available polling and political analysis, there is no evidence that a measurable or significant number of elected Democrats or the Democrat voting base in Washington, D.C., are advocating for a Marxist revolution.
However, the results indicate significant, often ideologically-driven, commentary regarding the influence of far-left ideology in the party:
- Positive Views on Socialism: Recent surveys (late 2025) indicate that a significant number of Democrat voters hold favorable views of "socialism" (roughly 62% to 66%), often viewing it as a solution to economic inequality rather than a strict adherence to Marxist-Leninist revolution.
- Political Commentary vs. Reality: While some conservative commentators and politicians argue that the Democrat Party has been "hijacked" or is influenced by "Marxist-style revolutionaries" and the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA), these claims are frequently part of partisan political rhetoric, particularly in the context of the 2024 and 2025 electoral landscape.
- Ideological Shifts: The Democrat Party has seen a rise in "progressive" or "socialist" platforms, with some reports noting that nearly 1/4 of the House of Representatives belongs to a progressive wing, which some opponents label as socialist.
- Actual Communist Presence: While minor, fringe groups like the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) may express support for disrupting the current system, they are not part of the mainstream Democrat Party structure.
As of now, Janeese Lewis George is the only current member of the DC City Council affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). She has been noted for her alignment with democratic socialist principles in her political endeavors and is running for mayor in the upcoming elections.
Additionally, Aparna Raj, who formerly served as the chair of the Metro DC DSA, is a candidate running for a council seat.
D.C. remains a sanctuary city. The city maintains policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, primarily through the Sanctuary Values Amendment Act of 2020. This law prohibits local law enforcement from detaining individuals on behalf of federal authorities without a judicial warrant and restricts federal immigration officials from inquiring about the immigration status of individuals in local custody. ICE generally does not need a judicial warrant signed by a judge to make arrests or to enter non-public areas, relying instead on administrative warrants (Form I-200/I-205) issued by ICE supervisors. While legal, this practice is distinct from criminal law; however, they cannot enter a home without consent or a judicial warrant, unless an emergency exists. These are civil documents signed by an ICE supervisor, not a judge, authorizing the arrest of a person suspected of violating immigration law. ICE does not legally require local law enforcement cooperation to operate, as immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, but they heavily rely on it for efficiency. Cooperation, such as through the 287(g) program, helps ICE identify, arrest, and remove individuals from local jails, while a lack of cooperation, often in "sanctuary" jurisdictions, requires ICE to conduct more community-level, at-large arrests. The Nation's Capitol is a sanctuary city. The D.C. Council is currently probing Police Chief Jeffery Carroll over concerns related to the Metropolitan Police Department's (MPD) cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Trump and Congress must end the Marxist pursuits of the Mayor and DC City Council that have created so many national threats. It can't be just a Rah-Rah Speech at the State of the Union. For the good of the Nation and an example to all, Trump and Congress must seize the City from the Revolutionaries quickly, with all power and control.
To end the false worship of Karl Marx by the DC Mayor and City Council, we must eliminate the policies of the false idol. In the Bible, false idols were handled with zero tolerance, requiring the absolute destruction of images, altars, and shrines to ensure exclusive worship of Yahweh. Commands included burning, smashing, and tearing down pagan idols, often leading to severe divine judgment, exile, or death for those who worshiped them. Got Questions in "How are idols connected to demons (Deuteronomy 32:16-17)?" write, "The Hebrew text here uses what is called synonymous parallelism, in which two or more lines communicate the same idea using different words. In this case, the parallels include “strange gods” and “demons that were no gods.” Grammatically, the demons and the foreign gods are the same. The text clearly connects pagan worship with evil spirits. The false gods are in contrast with the true God, the “Rock” in verses 15 and 17." Jolene Almendarez in "NKY GOP lawmakers call Democrats party of 'demonic possession' amid Charlie Kirk's death" writes, "Northern Kentucky Republican lawmakers have offered an outpouring of prayers and support for conservative political influencer Charlie Kirk after he was shot dead at a speaking event Wednesday. But the killing also prompted some of them to label Democrats and leftists as a "death worshipping, terroristic cult" and the party of "insanity, demonic possession."" You do the Math. It's time to start tearing down the idol policies.
One of the Marxist Institutional Structures that must end immediately is the DC Green Bank. DC Green Bank Brandi Colander, a former official from the Obama administration (Interior Department and White House Council on Environmental Quality), was announced as the permanent CEO of DC Green Bank in October 2025. I would like to know why permanent? The Green Bank says, "Ms. Colander has extensive experience across the public and private sectors, including serving as the Deputy Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of the Interior and Deputy General Counsel at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. In these roles, she advised Cabinet leaders on regulatory, policy, and infrastructure matters. In the private sector, she has led corporate functions and advised Fortune 500 company executives." Ms. Collander says, “This opportunity is an honor, particularly during an exciting time in our maturation. Together with our team, board, and partners, we will strengthen our foundation, deepen our mission-driven focus, and chart bold new paths for sustainable investments in resilient infrastructure,” She played a role in a big office to residential deal in DC. The Geneva, a $750 million office-to-residential conversion in Washington, D.C., secured a record-breaking $465 million C-PACE loan (within a total $575 million financing package) in January 2026, marking the largest C-PACE deal in U.S. history. Developed by Post Brothers at 1825-1850 K St NW, the project will deliver 532 units and 60,000 sq ft of space. A Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) loan is a financing mechanism allowing owners of commercial, industrial, or multi-family properties to fund energy efficiency, water conservation, and resilience projects with no money down. It is repaid over 15-30 years via a voluntary assessment on the property tax bill. Nuveen Green Capital provided the $465 million C-PACE financing, which is crucial for the adaptive reuse, as reported by CNBC. The project converts a vacant office building into 532 residential units, including 60 permanently affordable units (10% of the total). C-PACE projects generally utilize private capital, Chinese-based capital, banks, or investors can participate in financing.
The building is located near Dupont Circle, a major contribution to Mayor Bowser’s Downtown Comeback Plan. The city launched a $26 million venture capital program to support DC-based tech startups, with partners including K Street Capital. Bowser’s Downtown Comeback Plan focuses on rejuvenating DC's core by creating 35,000 jobs and adding 15,000 residents by 2028, with specific emphasis on the Gallery Place/Chinatown area. Simultaneously, the Mayor faced intense pressure from Congress to sever a long-standing "sister city" relationship with Beijing, China, amid concerns over CCP influence. The Geneva is a $750 million office-to-residential conversion primarily financed by a record-breaking $465 million in C-PACE funding from Nuveen Green Capital. Additional funding includes a $110 million senior loan from Mavik Capital Management and support from the District’s Housing in Downtown (HID) program, which provides tax abatements. Mavik is an opportunistic credit manager focused on US commercial real estate and special situations. Mavik specializes in U.S.-based commercial real estate credit, distress, and special situations. As of early 2026, the District of Columbia holds very high, investment-grade credit ratings despite recent downgrades due to federal workforce reductions and commercial real estate declines. Moody’s rates the District Aa1 (negative outlook), while S&P Global and Fitch Ratings have affirmed a AA+ (stable outlook) rating.
SistaSCOTUS (often associated with the hashtag #SheWillRise) is an advocacy group and initiative founded by a group of Black women in 2020 with the primary goal of ensuring the appointment of the first Black woman to the United States Supreme Court. The organization was created to end the decades-long exclusion of Black women from the highest court in the country and to educate communities on the importance of federal courts. The group was formed by Kim Tignor, Brandi Colander, Sabriya I. Williams, and April Reign. They held rallies, virtual talks, dance parties, and policy discussions to mobilize support and raise awareness. The group's goal was realized with the nomination and subsequent confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in 2022. Following the confirmation of Justice Jackson, the group continued to focus on the impact of this historic appointment and the importance of representation in the judiciary. The campaign aimed to celebrate and advocate for the nomination of a Black woman to the Supreme Court of the United States, specifically rallying behind now-Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
- Intersectionality: Similar to the goals of Black Lives Matter in fighting for racial justice, SistaSCOTUS highlighted that Black women exist at the intersection of various oppressions, advocating for them to be in positions of power to ensure their perspectives are represented.
- Connection to Activism: The campaign was closely linked to broader civil rights activism, with figures like LaTosha Brown (co-founder of Black Votes Matter) and various Black women leaders supporting the effort.
Brown's ongoing efforts are pivotal in the broader landscape of social justice and civil rights, making her a key figure in the Black Lives Matter movement. In 2016, Brown and fellow activist Cliff Albright founded Black Voters Matter, an organization whose work is credited with significant voter registration and get out the vote efforts in several elections. In an interveiw with Greg Palast,"LaTosha Brown: They’re constantly skimming votes", she admits to the voting troubles in Georgia. Brown states, "I was in line for hours waiting because we were told that the machines themselves, the machines that the state of Georgia actually spent over $102 million on — brand new machines — for some reason, once again, they forgot to get the cords for them. They didn’t have enough power cords for them. Once again, these machines that they spent hundreds of million dollars on, they didn’t have the key for, which was actually the code. The poll workers didn’t have a code. So we keep seeing… we’ve got these resources going to these new technologies, but a we’re seeing the same old problems that our community has seen in the past, which we know are all forms of voter suppression."
When Jackson was officially nominated, Colander expressed her joy, stating, "The her-story written today alone is epic." This sentiment was echoed among activists, who felt a profound sense of visibility and acknowledgment within the political sphere. Colander's dual focus on social justice and sustainability reflects a holistic approach to advocacy, illustrating the interconnectedness of civil rights and environmental issues. Her ongoing efforts continue to inspire many leftists within the Black community and beyond, driving forward the conversation around representation in all spheres of public life. Don't look for SistaSCOTUS.com, it's been scrubed. Proud of our work? Colander has been notably involved with the Black Lives Matter movement in Washington, D.C. She is recognized for her activism and contributions to social justice issues, particularly focusing on racial equity and police reform.
- Activism with Black Lives Matter:
- Brandi has participated in various protests and discussions to raise awareness about systemic racism and police violence.
- Community Engagement:
- She often engages with local communities to address issues of inequality, working to mobilize action and support.
- Public Speaking:
- Brandi frequently speaks at events, sharing her insights on the importance of the movement and advocating for policy changes.
The Black Lives Matter movement continues to evolve, addressing ongoing issues of racial injustice in D.C. and beyond. Activists like Colander play a crucial role in these discussions. Support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement from Chinese entities, particularly around the D.C. area and nationally, has been a blend of grassroots, diaspora activism, and calculated, state-run media narratives. Following the 2020 protests, Chinese diplomats and state media used the movement to critique U.S. racial issues and foreign policy. Meanwhile, Chinese diaspora activists have participated in rallies, including in D.C., to address anti-Asian racism and systemic injustices.
Colander is the Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer at Enviva. In her role, she manages multiple teams focusing on communications, community relations, government and regulatory affairs, and sustainability initiatives. ENVIVA Biomass, a leading producer of wood pellets for biomass energy, has been under scrutiny for allegations regarding its environmental practices and more broadly, its connections to foreign influences, particularly concerning the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Recent complaints have been filed against ENVIVA for allegedly misleading investors about its climate impact. Environmental organizations argue that its claims lack transparency, particularly regarding emissions from burning wood pellets and sourcing practices. Investigations have indicated that the company's operations may not align with its sustainability branding and could harm the ecosystems from which it sources its materials. In the broader context of environmental policy and national security, there have been discussions in U.S. political circles about the potential influence of foreign entities like the CCP on American industries, including renewable energy. Although ENVIVA is not directly linked to the CCP, the scrutiny around its operations fits into a larger narrative of caution against foreign investment and influence in critical sectors.
Colander, serving as the CEO of DC Green Bank, has collaborated closely with Mayor Muriel Bowser on initiatives aimed at enhancing sustainable development and affordable housing in Washington, D.C. Their partnership exemplifies the city’s commitment to integrating sustainability into urban planning and housing projects.
Key Contributions
- **Muriel Bowser**: As the Mayor, she has championed numerous initiatives to increase affordable housing, investing over **$1.4 billion** into the Housing Production Trust Fund during her tenure. Her leadership focuses on combining sustainability with housing to address the city's needs.
- Brandi Colander: Besides her role at the DC Green Bank, she actively promotes innovative financing solutions to support clean energy and energy efficiency, having previously expressed the bank’s efforts to make significant sustainable impacts on the city's infrastructure.
While there has not been a specific wide-ranging allegation of financial fraud concerning all D.C. sustainability initiatives, there are examples that highlight the challenges of financial accountability and transparency in projects related to environmental sustainability. There are incidents that underscore the importance of vigilance in managing public funds and ensuring that sustainability goals are met without financial misconduct.
No other reason for permanace.
Members of Congress and the Select Committee on the CCP have raised concerns that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) exerts influence on the Washington, D.C. government, specifically through a long-standing "sister city" relationship with Beijing established in 1984. Lawmakers argue this partnership allows for CCP propaganda and intelligence activities, prompting legislation to terminate it. The Select Committee on the CCP asserts that the CCP uses such, partnerships, often managed by the United Front Work Department, to advance its, interests, and that, this poses, security risks. The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission report: "China uses “United Front” work to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP’s United Front Work Department (UFWD)—the agency responsible for coordinating these kinds of influence operations—mostly focuses on the management of potential opposition groups inside China, but it also has an important foreign influence mission. To carry out its influence activities abroad, the UFWD directs “overseas Chinese work,” which seeks to co-opt ethnic Chinese individuals and communities living outside China, while a number of other key affiliated organizations guided by China’s broader United Front strategy conduct influence operations targeting foreign actors and states. Some of these entities have clear connections to the CCP’s United Front strategy, while others’ linkage is less explicit. Today, United Front-related organizations are playing an increasingly important role in China’s broader foreign policy under Chinese President and General Secretary of the CCP Xi Jinping."
The DC Green Bank, established in 2018 to catalyze clean energy investment, has recently focused on projects like affordable housing retrofits and securing $62.45 million in EPA Solar for All funds. President Obama’s climate strategy focused on cutting domestic carbon emissions and securing international funding for climate resilience. He pledged $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), with $1 billion delivered by January 2017 to aid developing countries. Key initiatives included investing in clean energy, which increased solar power twenty-fold, and supporting a $4 billion private-sector investment in clean technology. The DC Green Bank, a quasi-public entity authorized in 2018, accelerates clean energy, energy efficiency, and sustainability in Washington, DC, by leveraging public funds to attract private investment for local projects. It is a member of the Green Bank Network (GBN), an international group, rather than a direct component of the "World Economic Council," focusing on local impact. The GBN is an international collaboration of specialized, mission-driven finance institutions—founded in 2015 alongside UN climate meetings—that leverages public funds to accelerate private investment in low-carbon, climate-resilient projects. Bowser participated in the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Dubai.
Key Aspects of Her Participation
- Delegation Role: Mayor Bowser was part of a bi-partisan delegation representing the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Her involvement highlighted the importance of local action in addressing climate change, aligning with global leaders to negotiate and commit to sustainable policies.
- Meetings and Discussions: While in Dubai, she engaged with international leaders on various topics, including infrastructure, education, and sports, while also promoting Washington, D.C., as a destination for investment and tourism.
Under her leadership, D.C. aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, which includes developing low or no-carbon buildings and implementing waste reduction strategies. To become net zero, a city must drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors—primarily buildings, energy, transport, and waste—to near zero, balancing any remaining emissions through carbon removal. This requires implementing energy efficiency, shifting to 100% renewable energy, electrifying transportation, and adopting circular economy waste management. Making mandatory solar installation a requirement for homeowners is a significant, proactive strategy for cities striving to achieve net-zero, with California and cities like Lancaster leading this approach. While not the only way to reach net-zero, it is increasingly seen as a critical tool for reducing building-related emissions. Net zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by human activity and the amount removed from the atmosphere, aiming for a net total of zero. It requires rapidly cutting emissions as close to zero as possible, with remaining, hard-to-abate emissions offset through carbon removal, such as reforestation or technological solutions. This goal is essential to limit global warming to 1.5°C and avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
GBN members have collectively closed billions in clean energy transactions. President Joe Biden administration has created a $20 billion national "green bank" network under the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to finance clean energy projects, particularly for low-income and disadvantaged communities. This initiative provides low-interest loans for rooftop solar, energy efficiency, and clean technology. It is often associated with the Coalition for Green Capital (CGC), which acts as a central hub for these state and local financing entities. The Green Bank Network (GBN) is a membership organization formed to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among existing green banks, enabling them to share best practices and lessons learned. The CGC is a U.S.-based non-profit accelerating clean energy investment through green banks. While primarily focused on US federal funding, it has engaged internationally, including in Beijing. In contrast, China operates its own, separate China Green Carbon Foundation (CGCF) to address climate change. The GBN also aims to serve as the global go-to source of knowledge of the green bank model and a resource network for jurisdictions that seek to establish a green bank. the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) serves as secretariat of the Green Bank Network, implementing GBN activities. NRDC has worked in China since the 1990s, engaging in, and sometimes criticized for, close cooperation with Chinese government agencies. The NRDC supports the Green Bank Network (GBN), a global initiative that facilitates investments in clean energy technologies like wind and solar. Critics have alleged that such environmental collaborations may align with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interests,, potentially influencing U.S. policy.
The Elephant in the Room: Does Communist China Fund Green Groups in the US?
China has been actively involved in the U.S. solar industry, particularly in terms of investments and supply chain dynamics.
Scale of Investments
- $80 Billion in Overseas Cleantech: Chinese firms have committed around $80 billion in clean technology investments overseas in recent years. This is part of a broader strategy to address excess production capacity and seek new markets.
- Focus on Solar: Solar technology, particularly photovoltaic (PV) panels, has been a significant area of investment. China holds over 80% of the global manufacturing capacity for PV panels, which gives it considerable leverage in the market.
Market Dynamics
- Supply Chain Oversupply: China's solar manufacturing sector has been characterized by oversupply, leading to substantial price reductions globally. Prices for solar panels fell by 42% in 2023 due to this excess capacity.
- Competitive Pricing: Chinese solar products have become significantly cheaper compared to U.S.-made panels. The pricing advantage is attributed to state support and the scale of production.
David Blackmon of Forbes in "Senate Hearing Explores China’s Role In Funding U.S. Climate Groups" writes, "[Senator Ted] Cruz alleged in his opening statement and throughout the hearing that EFC has in recent years injected millions of dollars to U.S. advocacy groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) in support of their litigation and messaging targeting the oil, gas, and coal industries. Those efforts align with China’s strategic interests given that the country controls critical supply chains for critical minerals, batteries, solar panels, and other energy technologies."
While specific, up-to-the-minute numbers on the exact count of Chinese-manufactured solar panels in Washington, D.C. are not publicly tracked, the vast majority of installed panels in the U.S. utilize Chinese components or are manufactured by Chinese firms in Southeast Asia. D.C. has over 300 MW of installed solar capacity. Despite U.S. trade restrictions, Chinese-owned firms control over 80% of the global solar supply chain. Many panels labeled "made in" Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia) are produced by Chinese companies, which accounted for roughly 80% of U.S. imports in 2024. Large-scale solar developers in D.C., such as New Columbia Solar and Solar Energy World, install panels from a variety of global manufacturers, many of which are part of the Chinese supply chain. The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) notes that Washington D.C. has experienced significant growth in solar installations in recent years, largely driven by the Solar for All program.
Solar for All like Medicaid for All. Solar for All aims to bring the benefits of solar energy to 100,000 low to moderate income families in the District. DOEE is partnering with organizations across the District to install solar on single family homes and develop community solar projects to benefit renters and residents in multi-family buildings. All Solar for All participants should expect to see a 50% savings on their electricity bill over 15 years and can be proud to have gone solar!
Energy Foundation China (EFC) is a Beijing-based philanthropic organization established in 1999 that supports China's transition to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. It provides grants for policy research, capacity building, and best practices in sectors like power, transportation, and cities. EFC operates under the supervision of the National Development and Reform Commission. EFC has deep, structural ties to the Chinese government. It acts as an intermediary, funding clean energy projects and policy development while often aligning with China's national, environmental, and economic goals. The People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are deeply intertwined, with the CCP maintaining a monopoly on power as the ruling party. While the state structure has its own institutions, such as the National People's Congress (legislature) and the State Council (executive cabinet), the CCP controls all key decisions and personnel appointments. The CCP is the ultimate authority, and its leadership is constitutionally guaranteed. The phrase "party-state" accurately describes this system, where the Party (CCP) and the State (Government) are indistinguishable at the highest levels. Based on recent U.S. congressional reports and statements from officials in 2025-2026, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is increasingly viewed as an adversary, with lawmakers accusing it of conducting "unrestricted warfare" through espionage, fentanyl trafficking, and economic infiltration. Reports allege the CCP seeks to destroy the American economy and way of life.
The solar panels are a national security threat! DC Green Bank’s mission is to provide access to capital, growing the clean economy to develop a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable DC. They offer financing solutions for DC businesses and community institutions to invest in solar energy, energy-efficient buildings, transportation electrification, and floodwater resilience. DC Green Book boasts in it's Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Report that its $75 million in loans has grown the organixation from one employee to 30 employees. In July 2018, Mayor Bowser signed a "historic" agreement making DC the first US City and second in the world to establish a Green Finance Authority. Bowser's Press Release porports, "Green Banks are capitalized with public funds which are then used to offer loans, leases, credit enhancements, and other financing services to close funding gaps for clean energy projects. Typically, Green Banks invest in mature clean energy projects, including commercially viable technologies, such as solar energy systems, energy efficiency measures, water management systems, and clean transportation infrastructure and equipment.
Washington, D.C. heavily invests in solar energy through targeted funding and incentives, including a recent $62.45 million EPA grant for the Solar for All program and $7.5 million in DC Green Bank commitments for residential projects. Average residential solar systems cost around $33,498 ($2.95/W) as of February 2026, often offset by high-value SRECs.
Key Solar Spending and Investment Areas:
- Solar for All Expansion: A $62.45 million federal grant (announced April 2025) expands community and rooftop solar, aiming to bring solar to more low-to-moderate income households.
- DC Green Bank Funding: The Green Bank committed $7.5 million for projects, including a $7 million loan for low-income residential solar and $530,000 for community projects.
- Municipal Solar (PPAs): The District has invested in large-scale Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that support 11-12 MW of solar on city buildings, aiming to save over $30 million.
- Residential System Costs: As of early 2026, a typical 11.34 kW residential system costs between $28,473 and $38,523 before incentives.
- Incentives & Incentives Value: DC has one of the highest-valued Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) markets in the country, allowing owners to sell credits and significantly reduce payback periods.
Without subsidy where would renewables be? According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and other reports, renewables receive significantly higher federal subsidies per unit of energy produced compared to fossil fuels. While renewables (wind, solar) accounted for 54% of federal energy support in FY 2022 ($15.6 billion), fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) received 11% ($3.2 billion).
DC residents have reported significant issues with home solar, including predatory sales tactics, aggressive door-to-door sales, and misleading claims that systems are "free" or fully covered by tax credits. Common complaints include hidden dealer fees, poor installation quality, and predatory loan contracts that increase monthly payments.
- Misleading Sales Tactics: Salespeople often claim systems are "free," or that tax credits cover all costs, and pressure homeowners into signing contracts immediately.
- Predatory Financing: Loans may include high, hidden dealer fees (often 30% or more) and, in some cases, fraudulent, forged, or unauthorized electronic signatures.
- Poor Construction: Reports of shoddy installation, damage to homes, and unnecessary, expensive roof or electrical upgrades.
- Inaccurate Savings: Promised energy savings often do not materialize, with some consumers seeing higher energy costs than before.
- Targeted Areas: Predatory practices have been heavily reported in Wards 4, 5, 7, and 8.
Chinese influence on the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) revolves around managing the dominant Chinese solar supply chain while navigating U.S. trade restrictions. SEIA addresses this by advocating for domestic manufacturing growth, navigating anti-dumping/countervailing duties (AD/CVD) on Southeast Asian imports, and addressing supply chain risks related to forced labor concerns. SEIA in "Key Lawmakers Support Efforts to End U.S.-China Solar Dispute" reports "For months, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has been working behind the scenes in Washington and Beijing to resolve the current conflict and head off an escalation of trade sanctions. SEIA has warned U.S. negotiators that any settlement similar to the recently-announced EU-China agreement would represent a blow to the U.S. solar industry because of an expected increase in solar prices. SEIA also believes that any resolution of the U.S.-China solar dispute must recognize the interests of all stakeholders, including American consumers, and not just one segment of the industry." Complaints regarding the SEIA primarily involve its role in industry lobbying, specifically using paid, conservative influencers to promote solar policies and advocating against trade restrictions on Chinese-manufactured panels. Other complaints stem from investor issues with the financial firm Signature Estate & Investment Advisors (SEIA).
The DC Green Bank was established by Mayor Bowser and the D.C. City Council in 2018 through the District of Columbia Green Finance Authority Establishment Act to accelerate private investment in solar and sustainable projects. It operates as a quasi-governmental authority that leverages public capital to fund solar projects, often partnering with private lenders and developers like Flywheel Development and Aligned Climate Capital to serve low-income residents. The Obama administration (2009–2017) engaged in a complex, often adversarial, relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regarding solar panels, characterized by promoting solar adoption while imposing tariffs to counter Chinese subsidies. In 2012, Obama imposed tariffs (31% or higher) on Chinese solar products following claims that unfair state support hurt U.S. manufacturers. There was a divide among Democrats regarding the Obama-era tariffs on Chinese solar panels, with some expressing concern over the impact on solar adoption while others supported protection for domestic manufacturing. When the Obama administration implemented heavy tariffs (ranging from 31% to 250%) on Chinese solar imports in 2012, it created a mixed reaction within the party and the broader industry:
- Concerns over Costs: Many in the industry, along with some supportive voices, warned that these tariffs would raise the cost of solar panels, potentially slowing down the rapid expansion of solar power in the U.S.
- Support for Domestic Industry: Conversely, some Democrats, particularly those representing manufacturing-heavy regions, supported the tariffs as a necessary tool to protect U.S. manufacturing jobs against what were considered unfairly subsidized Chinese imports.
- Context of the Time: The 2012 tariffs were a response to complaints from U.S. manufacturers (such as SolarWorld) that China was dumping cheap panels into the U.S. market.
Notice, no concerns over national security threat!
Earliest national security concerns regarding solar panels emerged around 2011–2012, focusing on supply chain dependence on China, followed by threats of Chinese-manufactured components (particularly inverters) containing "kill switch" capabilities or spyware. Concerns expanded to include cybersecurity vulnerabilities in smart inverters allowing for grid disruption, data theft, and potential malware embedding. Barack Obama was the President of the United States in 2011 and 2012. A Democrat, he served as the 44th president from 2009 to 2017, and won re-election to a second term in November 2012. Obama did not frame solar panels themselves as a national security threat. Instead, he promoted solar and renewable energy as essential for enhancing national security by reducing reliance on foreign oil and combating climate change, while issuing executive orders to protect the power grid from extreme solar flare events. Multiple U.S. lawmakers and security experts have identified Chinese-manufactured solar panels and related components (specifically inverters) as a national security threat. Key figures include Representatives Rob Wittman, August Pfluger, and other Republicans who warned that dependence on Chinese-made, internet-connected, or high-tech equipment could allow surveillance and energy grid disruption. U.S. Representative Rob Wittman in "Wittman, Virginia Delegation Members Warn of National Security Risks in Pentagon’s Solar Panel Plan" writes, "Today, Rep. Rob Wittman (VA-01), alongside Reps. Jen Kiggans (VA-02), Ben Cline (VA-06), and Morgan Griffith (VA-09), sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin urging the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure any solar panels installed on the Pentagon or any U.S. military installation are made in America. China dominates the global solar supply chain, and the Biden administration’s green agenda fails to include clear procurement guidelines to prevent American dollars from benefiting one of our greatest adversaries.
“We are deeply concerned that the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy are not demonstrating appropriate attention to the economic and national security risks posed by pursuing this initiative when Chinese solar manufacturers continue to dominate the marketplace, historically violate U.S. trade laws, and advance the surveillance activities of Chinese military and intelligence agencies,” the lawmakers write.
Most solar panels in the United States are sourced from China, and even domestically made panels rely on Chinese materials. Additionally, reliance on solar energy at the Pentagon would increase dependence on battery storage, with China being a major producer of lithium for batteries."
Biden did not warn of solar panels themselves as a risk; rather, in June 2022, he declared a 24-month emergency to boost U.S. solar manufacturing, labeling a lack of domestic capacity a national security risk. He invoked the Defense Production Act to accelerate production, primarily to counter reliance on imports from Southeast Asia. So the Democrats did not warn America but enjoyed the fruits of promoting Chinese solar panels. Democrats helping Democrats Destroy America!

Democrats Helping Democrats Destroy America by the Hand of China. But Ken, Austin, TX is mentioned? Then, Republicans are helping.
Ross Ramsey in "Analysis: The blue dots in Texas’ red political sea" writes "Tuesday’s election results offer further evidence that Texas mirrors America, with urban voters strongly favoring Democrats, while rural and many suburban voters favor Republicans." Ramsey continues, "A win is a win is a win, and this year belonged to the Republicans. Their streaks are intact: They’ve won the last 10 presidential elections in Texas and every statewide race in every election since 1994. But one takeaway from this year’s contests is that Democrats reduced the normal Republican margins and their scattered blue spots on the Texas map — the state’s biggest cities — turned in stronger Democratic performances than they have in the past."
Democrats Keep the Revolution Alive!
Marxists and socialist organizations, such as the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and International Marxist Tendency (IMT), actively protest for renewable energy by demanding a shift away from fossil fuels, nationalization of energy industries, and a "socialist Green New Deal". They link environmental crises to capitalist production, advocating for a planned transition to green energy that defends worker jobs and living standards. Democrats protest renewable energy. In "Science Democrats Condemn Illegal Elimination of the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations", House Democrats write, " Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Science Committee Democratic Members sent a letter to Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright condemning the illegal elimination of the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED). OCED was created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) with the purpose of cultivating the expertise required to provide high-quality, technology-independent management for large, commercially focused energy demonstration projects at DOE. The IIJA explicitly called for the establishment of OCED, and therefore DOE’s elimination of this office is undeniably illegal. Not only that, the dissolution of OCED increases the likelihood of project failures and taxpayer losses related to large-scale energy demonstration projects under DOE’s purview.
“It is worth remembering why Congress created OCED, for it was not a random or careless decision,” the Members wrote in their letter. “In the years preceding OCED’s creation, Congress witnessed the existing technology offices within DOE repeatedly struggle to manage large-scale energy demonstration projects, particularly projects related to nuclear technologies and carbon capture and storage technologies. The track records of these offices in managing large demonstration projects were extremely poor.”"
Democrats and Marxists are united in destroying America at the Hands of the Communist Chinese Party. The Chinese solar industry is a National Security Threat!
The Chinese solar industry has become a focal point of concern for U.S. national security, particularly regarding potential vulnerabilities linked to infrastructure and technology. Several factors underpin this apprehension, including rogue components in solar power systems and compliance with Chinese laws that may compel companies to assist the government. Recent reports indicate that rogue communication devices have been discovered in some Chinese solar power inverters. These undocumented components can potentially bypass security measures, exposing critical infrastructure to remote manipulation and sabotage. For instance, they allow attackers to control solar generation assets, leading to power outages or grid destabilization. The implications are severe; experts warn that if large numbers of inverters are compromised simultaneously, it could result in catastrophic impacts on local and national power grids. The integration of solar technology into critical infrastructure poses unique challenges. Roughly 70% of solar components, including inverters and batteries, are manufactured in China. This reliance raises significant risks, particularly in scenarios where the Chinese Communist Party could exert influence or control over these technologies. Several U.S. government officials have emphasized the necessity of enhancing security measures around solar infrastructure. Reports suggest that states need to identify and address vulnerabilities within their critical infrastructure, particularly concerning Chinese-manufactured components. In response to these rising security threats, legislative measures are being considered or enacted. For instance, the Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependence Act aims to prohibit certain U.S. agencies from purchasing batteries from Chinese companies linked to the government. Additionally, the Department of Defense (DoD) may face similar restrictions regarding solar inverters. Efforts are underway to limit the procurement of Chinese-made solar components in military installations, such as at Fort Bragg, where concerns over vulnerabilities tied to Chinese suppliers have been raised. These actions reflect a growing consensus among U.S. lawmakers and security experts on the need to bolster infrastructure resilience against potential threats.
Yes, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is actively and extensively engaged in eavesdropping, surveillance, and espionage against the United States. U.S. officials, including former FBI Director Christopher Wray, have identified China as the "greatest long-term threat" to the nation's security, with thousands of active counterintelligence investigations underway. CCP intelligence operations in the U.S. utilize a combination of cyber-espionage, human intelligence, and, more recently, technical surveillance through consumer technology and infrastructure. China engages in widespread hacking of U.S. government agencies, universities, and private businesses to steal trade secrets, intellectual property, and sensitive personal data. Major breaches include the 2015 Office of Personnel Management (OPM) hack, which stole the personal records of millions of federal employees.
Targets of Interest:
The CCP's intelligence gathering focuses heavily on:
- Military Technology: Stealing data on advanced fighter jets (F-35), submarine technologies, and missile systems.
- Critical Infrastructure: Pre-positioning for potential cyberattacks on U.S. water, electric, and transportation networks.
- Corporate Data: Stealing intellectual property to bolster Chinese commercial industries, costing the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars annually.
- Political figures and dissidents: Monitoring U.S.-based critics of the regime.
CCP quotes regarding the United States often highlight adversarial, and competitive relationship, with leader Xi Jinping criticizing U.S. hegemony while urging a new, respectful "major-country relationship." Key themes include assertions that the world can function without the U.S., warnings against interference in internal affairs (specifically Taiwan), and accusations that the U.S. suppresses Chinese development. Xi Jinping has noted that China's system is "fundamentally incompatible with the West," making the "struggle and contest with Western countries... irreconcilable". Ian Easton in "Xi Jinping’s Endgame for America" writes, "For some time now, the ruler of China has been talking about destroying the United States and the liberal world order that Washington helped create in the wake of World War II. Uncovered documents and never-before-translated speeches shine light on what Xi Jinping has in mind. His words are disquieting.
The intersection of the Chinese solar industry and U.S. national security raises important questions about energy independence and infrastructure integrity. The ongoing assessments and legislative actions reflect a growing acknowledgment of the potential risks posed by foreign dependence in critical sectors.
- The U.S. solar manufacturing sector is experiencing a resurgence, with efforts aimed at increasing domestic production capabilities across the solar supply chain. Despite these efforts, meeting manufacturing demands while mitigating national security concerns remains a challenge.
- Federal policies are shifting towards "Don't Buy Chinese" strategies in government procurement, further isolating the U.S. from dependence on Chinese-made solar products.
Concerns Responses Impact
Rogue communication devices Reinforced inspections and security protocols Increased scrutiny of supply chains
Potential for grid destabilization Legislative bans on certain imports Restriction in the use of foreign components
Dependence on foreign technology Promotion of domestic manufacturing initiatives Growth in local solar manufacturing
The homes of DC have become the listening devices of Beijing. And the Democrats are fostering a National Security threat as they salute Xi and say, "All hail the king!" Democrats are generally more open to socialist policies compared to Republicans. They would prefer the governance of Xi to Trump any day.
DC has developed significant solar sites for government power, including a 2.65-megawatt (MW) community solar farm on a former brownfield at Oxon Run, and large-scale, on-site solar on municipal rooftops and parking lots. These, alongside installations at sites like the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and WMATA, support the city’s Solar for All initiatives to power government buildings and provide renewable energy to residents. YES, you read that right: Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) is a 1,018-acre installation in Southwest Washington, D.C., that houses over 70 mission partners including the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Marine Helicopter Squadron One, and the U.S. Coast Guard Station Washington. It acts as a major military hub, supporting the Air Force Band, Honor Guard, and Navy Ceremonial Guard. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and broader U.S. defense apparatus are actively targeted by Chinese espionage, which uses cyber attacks, insider threats, and academic, to steal technology and influence policy. While not officially "influenced" in the sense of shifting policy, Chinese intelligence aims to recruit personnel to weaken U.S. security. Can you imagine how much data China is gobbling up thanks to Mayor Bowser and the DC City Counil?
Nuclear energy is generally better for providing consistent, 24/7 "baseload" power with a tiny land footprint, while solar is better for cost-effectiveness, fast deployment, and safety. Neither is objectively superior; nuclear excels in reliability, whereas solar leads in affordability and scalability.
A 4 MW nuclear site, typically classified as a microreactor, requires a very small physical footprint, likely less than 1 to 5 acres for the actual power generation equipment. While traditional large nuclear plants need over 1,000 acres, modern small modular reactors (SMRs) can operate on roughly 15 acres, with microreactors requiring significantly less. Based on 2025-2026 reports, constructing advanced small modular reactors (SMRs) or microreactors, which the Trump administration aims to accelerate, is expected to take significantly less time than conventional plants—often estimated at around 3 to 5 years for construction. However, total planning, permitting, and construction can still span roughly 10 to 15 years. Under the Trump administration in 2025-2026, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and microreactors are prioritized as a core component of U.S. energy security and, according to a YouTube video from 2026, energy independence. Policies focus on accelerating deployment through massive federal funding, such as the DOE's $900 million solicitation for Gen III+ SMRs, and by streamlining regulatory processes. Hello, Mr. President, I know where you can start: Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling.
Is DC a small town or a big city? Geographically, Washington, D.C. is quite small—roughly 68 square miles—making it smaller than many US cities and 95% smaller than Rhode Island. However, it operates as a major urban center with a population of over 700,000, which is larger than Wyoming or Vermont. DC is heavily investing in solar, recently securing a $62.45 million EPA grant in April 2024 to expand its "Solar for All" program, aiming to benefit 12,000 low-to-moderate-income households. The city also utilizes the Renewable Energy Development Fund (REDF) and partners with the DC Green Bank, which has committed millions to local projects.
As of late 2025, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin moved to cancel $7 billion in Solar for All grants, arguing that new legislation authorized the claw back of funds. While the administration claims the authority to rescind the money, legal challenges and Democrat lawmakers argue that revoking already-obligated funds is illegal and violates Congressional intent. On August 7, 2025, the EPA announced it would no longer implement the Solar for All program, affecting 60 previously awarded grants to states, tribes, and nonprofits. Therefore, while the administration is actively attempting and in some cases succeeding in stopping the funds based on court rulings, the legality and final outcome of the "claw back" are still being fought in the court system. The District of Columbia is part of a coalition of over 20 states that filed a federal lawsuit against the EPA in October 2025 to stop the cancellation of the $7 billion "Solar for All" grant program. The lawsuit alleges the EPA's move to claw back funding is an illegal, unconstitutional, and arbitrary termination of a program created under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. As of early 2026, the Republican-led 119th Congress and the Trump administration are actively pursuing the "claw back" (rescission) of funding authorized under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), focusing heavily on climate, energy efficiency, and IRS enforcement provisions. In 2025, the EPA terminated $20 billion in grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and announced it would no longer implement the $7 billion "Solar for All" program.
Congress and Trump must act now to end the national security threat of solar in DC. Delay will not suffice!
End the DC Green Bank before DC runs out of other people's money or into the awaiting arms of the CCP!
