WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has protected about 84%, or $96.7 billion in clean energy grants created by its signature climate law from any clawback by the next administration, a White House official said on Friday.

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has distributed at least $27.6 billion of dollars in financing to clean-energy companies in its final days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to repeal Joe Biden's signature climate bill called the Inflation Reduction Act, which initially aimed at some $400 billion in new spending and tax cuts and credits at accelerating America's transition to a green energy economy.

Now, much of the snow in the nation’s capital has congealed into a dispiriting gray muck — a fitting symbol of the vibe veteran photographer Stephen Voss captured in the city during the final lap of Joe Biden’s presidency.
