AGAIN, Stacey Abrams Explains How She Was Given $1.9 Billion to Buy Appliances for Homes (In A Town of 120 People) Which Lowered The Electric Bills of Residents From $180 to $98

The EPA-Stacey Abrams grift revealed: @staceyabrams just told MSBNC's @chrislhayes that the Biden EPA gave her $2 billion to buy people new home appliances to reduce electric bills. So Democrats upgraded vote buying from Obama phones to Biden refrigerators. pic.twitter.com/mO0dEFOXmj

Chris Hayes: One of the ironies of the attack on you—and I’m going to play what he did—was that my understanding is the program at the source of this whole thing is a program to lower costs for people. Do I have that top line correct?

Stacey Abrams: You have it absolutely right.

Chris Hayes: Okay, so I’m going to play what he had to say, and then I’m going to ask you to explain what the program is that was such an obvious, ludicrous laugh line for the Republicans there.

President Trump: Take a $1.9 billion to recently created Decarbonization of Homes Committee headed up—and we know she’s involved. Just at the last moment, the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?

Chris Hayes: Okay, so what is this organization? What is your relation to it, and what does it do?

Stacey Abrams: In 2023 and 2024, I led a program called Vitalizing DeSoto. We worked in a tiny town in South Georgia to demonstrate that by replacing energy-inefficient appliances with efficient appliances, you can lower your cost. In fact, we accomplished that. For 75% of the community, they got appliances that are lowering their bills right now. We had one woman who saw her electric bill cut in half—from $180 to $98.

That’s what we delivered. Based on that program, a coalition of organizations—famous organizations—came together and said to the EPA, “If we can do this here, we can do this for millions more Americans. Let us invest the money of America in lowering the cost for Americans.” And the EPA said, “Okay, great. Go for it."

DeSoto, GA has a population of 120 people, according to Wikepedia.

If the average household in DeSoto is just 2 people (and it's likely to be more than that), that would mean they spent $1.9 billion to save $4920 a month for the whole town.

They spent $31,666,666 per household to save just $82 a month per household.

At this rate, it would take 32,181 years to recoup the $1.9 billion.
