The government spent millions subsidizing hundreds of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified (LEED) “green” buildings that are vulnerable to flooding and may need to be extensively repaired or abandoned in the future, Politico reported.
The First Street Foundation, a nonprofit research group, and E&E News identified 830 LEED-certified buildings built in the past decade that are at “extreme risk of flooding,” according to Politico. Tens of millions of tax dollars have subsidized the construction of such buildings, several experts told E&E news, according to the report.
