特朗普政府取消6.79亿美元海上风电项目资金
摘要
美国交通部撤销了分配给11个州12个海上风电项目的6.79亿美元联邦资金，将这些资金重新用于其他基础设施项目。
美国交通部撤销了分配给11个州12个海上风电项目的6.79亿美元联邦资金。其中包括为北加州一个浮动风电场拨付的4.35亿美元，以及为马里兰州一个海上风电项目拨付的4700万美元。交通部长肖恩·达菲表示，这些资金将被重新用于升级港口及其他基础设施。
“浪费资源，风电项目占用了本可用于振兴美国海事产业的资源，”达菲说道。
此决定是政府减少对可再生能源项目支持的更广泛努力的一部分。能源部也宣布撤回一项7.16亿美元的贷款担保，该贷款原计划用于升级新泽西州一个海上风电项目的输电基础设施。此外，位于罗德岛和康涅狄格州海岸附近、几乎完工的革命风电项目建设已暂停，等待国家安全问题的审查。
批评者认为，这些举措可能对就业创造和能源负担能力产生负面影响。加州众议员贾里德·哈夫曼称资金取消“令人愤慨”，并表达了对数千个工作岗位流失及阻碍为消费者提供负担得起且可靠电力的担忧。
政府近期的举措反映出优先支持化石燃料而非可再生能源的转变，与特朗普总统恢复美国在全球市场“能源主导地位”的承诺相一致。
