I wanted to make sure that everyone knows why these attempts to claw back funds already distributed by the Biden admin. are being attempted. Rather confusing and I'm not sure what the legal rationale will be to justify spending under a prior administration, it smacks of being illegal, since it's like going back and clawing back spending by a prior administration such as clawing back spending by Pres. Obama for example on health care. Go figure. Here's the scoop on tRUMP's latest money grab/clawback:

Green banks use those funds to provide financing for clean technology projects around the country. Startups that have technologies that are ready to scale commercially were eligible to receive financing to make projects a reality. The funding was mostly to be used for loans, which were to be paid back and recycled for future lending. Green banks tend to have delinquency rates on par with commercial and residential portfolios held by other commercial lenders.

Citibank was selected as the financial agent to administer that money, holding it in accounts under the names of the awardees. It is also administering a separate, $6 billion Clean Communities Investment Accelerator program. The EPA’s contract with Citibank was publicly announced in April 2024. The FBI has requested that Citibank place 30-day administrative freezes on accounts held by nonprofits that were recipients of the green bank funding. It also asked the bank to freeze other nonprofit and state government agency accounts, including Habitat for Humanity, United Way, the Colorado Clean Energy Fund, and New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

That the purpose of these actions is to see how far they can push the envelope and ultimately then to remember that there are real lives,real jobs, real projects that get all messed up with the hope that like all of Trump's abuses, people or companies will throw up their hands and say f**k it?

I wasn't really sure where the remarks were coming from, and so I researched it and found the EPA blurb/history as to why tRUMP was clawing back the funds. That's it. I wanted others to understand it too.

For the additional context and breadth of information. I felt better informed at the time and did not mean in any way to imply anything else.
There are so many smart people here on DU and sometimes, that gets lost in the shuffle.
Thank you. I appreciate your willingness to contribute.
