Bracewell’s Joe Brazauskas told Hart Energy that keeping tabs on funds still available under the Inflation Reduction Act is difficult since it is “hard to find this information.”
For agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency or the Department of Energy that still have massive pots of money available, Brazauskas said that “the next administration is going to come in and examine those programs” to see “how that money might be used in other places.”
“The Biden administration is certainly attempting to obligate as many funds as possible to buttress against a potential for Trump to try to claw back some of this money,” Brazauskas added. “When the funds have already been obligated, when there’s contractual agreements that are already signed … is an example of funds that will, interestingly enough, have to be administered by the next administration.”
