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建设项目。

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。其中包括北加州一个浮动风电场的4.35亿美元,以及马里兰州一个项目的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。

此举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。近期,能源部撤回了一笔7.16亿美元的贷款担保,该担保原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也因未说明的国家安全问题被暂停。

批评者认为,这些决定危及就业机会,阻碍清洁能源目标的实现。加州众议员贾里德·哈夫曼形容资金取消“令人愤慨”,并表达了对数千个就业岗位流失及消费者失去负担得起且可靠电力的担忧。

政府已表示,被撤销的资金将被重新用于提升美国境内的港口及其他基础设施项目。
