Trump Said He’d Repeal the IRA. Could That Slow Massachusetts’ Energy Transition?

Federal Practice attorney Robert Bradner was mentioned in an article published by The Boston Globe about the potential impact of a second Trump Administration on climate change initiatives and clean energy funding. The article discussed concerns over President-elect Trump's campaign promises to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and rescind unspent climate-related funds. Mr. Bradner provided insight on the challenges the administration might face in attempting to block congressionally appropriated funds, noting that although Trump has expressed interest in reviving the presidential power of impoundment, most legal scholars believe the president is obligated to distribute money allocated by Congress. The article explored the uncertainty surrounding the future of clean energy projects and climate tech industries, particularly in Massachusetts, which has received significant funding and seen job growth in these sectors as a result of the IRA.
