出现问题！美国风力项目发展停滞

　　A wind project is stalled in New York. Experts worry about impacts across the U.S.  纽约的一个风力发电项目陷入停滞，专家担忧此举将影响全美。  U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum has ordered a halt to an offshore wind project near the coast of Long Island. Today, Equinor, the Norwegian energy company that owns and operates the project, announced it is complying with the order and suspending all construction.  美国内政部部长道格·伯格姆已下令暂停长岛海岸附近的一个海上风电项目。今日，该项目所有者兼运营商——挪威能源公司Equinor宣布，将遵照命令暂停所有建设工作。  

　　President Trump, a longtime critic of wind energy, issued a moratorium on new development of offshore wind projects, one of his first executive orders upon returning to the White House.  特朗普总统长期以来一直批评风能，他在重返白宫后发布的首批行政命令之一，就是暂停新的海上风电项目开发。  

　　But Burgum's decision escalates the Administration's opposition to offshore wind because the multi-billion dollar project in New York already had its federal permits and had broken ground, says Robert Freudenberg,  a vice president at the Regional Plan Association, an energy nonprofit in the New York metropolitan area.  但能源非营利组织区域规划协会（位于纽约大都会区）的副主席罗伯特·弗劳登伯格表示，伯格姆的决定加剧了政府对海上风电的反对态度，因为纽约的这一数十亿美元项目已获得联邦许可并已破土动工。  "This really is next level offshore wind aggression," Freudenberg says.  “这真的是海上风电领域前所未有的激进行为，”弗劳登伯格说。  

　　The offshore wind project, called Empire Wind 1, was supposed to supply power to 500,000 homes in New York. The federal lease for the project was signed during the first Trump administration in 2017. Much of the federal permitting for this project happened during the Biden administration.  这个名为“帝国风电1号”的海上风电项目，本应为纽约的50万户家庭供电。该项目的联邦租赁协议于2017年特朗普第一任期内签署。该项目的大部分联邦许可工作是在拜登政府期间完成的。  

　　In a letter to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the lead federal agency for permitting offshore wind projects, Burgum wrote that "approval for the project was rushed through by the prior administration without sufficient analysis."  伯格姆在致海上风电项目许可主管机构——海洋能源管理局（BOEM）的一封信中写道：“该项目未经充分分析便被前政府仓促批准。”  

　　The letter did not give details about the alleged rush. The Interior Department did not respond to NPR's request for comment. The idea that the review of this wind project was rushed is not supported by evidence, says Matthew Eisenson, senior fellow at Columbia University's Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.  这封信并未详细说明所谓的“仓促”之处。内政部未对NPR的置评请求作出回应。哥伦比亚大学萨宾气候变化法律中心的高级研究员马修·艾森森表示，认为该项目审查过于仓促的说法并无依据。  

　　 "BOEM spent two and a half years conducting an environmental review. The final product of that environmental review is an environmental impact statement that's over 3000 pages long, with all of its appendices, and it's very thorough," Eisenson says. " This rationale, it's very suspect."  “海洋能源管理局花了两年半时间进行环境审查。最终的环境审查报告是一份超过3000页的环境影响声明，包括所有附录，内容非常详尽，”艾森森说，“这一理由很值得怀疑。”
