- 摘要
- 法官向风电和太阳能行业团体颁发禁令
- 原告方称，内政部政策要求额外审批，造成许可瓶颈
- 这些政策被认为偏袒化石燃料，不利于太阳能和风能项目
马萨诸塞州波士顿4月21日路透电 — 一名联邦法官周二叫停特朗普政府实施一系列审批政策，风电和太阳能行业团体称这些政策阻碍了新发电项目的开发。
美国波士顿联邦地区法院首席法官丹尼斯·卡斯珀发布初步禁令，该禁令是由九个倡导团体和行业贸易协会申请的，这些方指出特朗普政府设置了非法障碍，导致全美范围内风电和太阳能项目开发停滞。

法官表示，原告方有可能证明美国内政部及其他机构通过了一系列非法政策，导致全美众多可再生能源开发商取消或推迟了风电和太阳能项目。
她的裁决适用于原告组织的成员，其中包括东北可再生能源联盟和纽约清洁能源联盟。原告方的一名律师未立即回应置评请求。内政部也未回应置评请求。
此次裁决是对特朗普政府一系列司法谴责的最新一例，特朗普政府此前试图阻止风电项目的联邦审批，或叫停东海岸正在建设中的数十亿美元海上风电场工程。
这位共和党籍总统曾以“开采吧，宝贝，开采”作为竞选口号，上台后一直寻求强化美国政府对化石燃料的支持，最大化其产量，美国是全球最大的石油和天然气生产国。
特朗普周一援引《国防生产法》签署了一系列与能源相关的总统备忘录，旨在进一步提振石油、煤炭和天然气的生产，并称此举是出于“国防战备”的需要。
支持风电和太阳能的团体于去年12月提起诉讼，要求阻止政府的相关行动，他们称这些行动将风电和太阳能技术置于其律师所称的“监管二等地位”。
这些行动包括内政部在一份7月备忘录中推出的一项政策，要求风电和太阳能审批流程中的几乎每一个步骤都需获得包括内政部长道格·伯根在内的三名高级政治任命官员的批准。
该备忘录援引了特朗普签署的相关指令和命令，这些内容旨在阻止海上风电开发，并指示内政部取消对“风能和太阳能等昂贵且不可靠的能源”的“优惠政策”。
原告方辩称，该政策造成了审批瓶颈，导致审批工作陷入停滞，且该政策在出台时未就其必要性作出任何解释，违反了《行政程序法》。
由民主党总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命的卡斯珀同意了这一说法，称内政部援引的所有指令都未解释或证明三级审批流程的合理性。
她同时还叫停了原告方所称的不利于“容量密集型”能源项目的政策，风电和太阳能项目将被归类为这类项目，此外还有内政部对《外大陆架土地法》的解读，该解读为海上风电项目施加了更严格的标准。

- Summary
- Judge grants injunction to wind and solar industry groups
- Interior Department policies required extra approvals, creating permitting bottlenecks, plaintiffs said
- Policies seen as favoring fossil fuels and disadvantaging solar and wind projects
BOSTON, April 21 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing a series of permitting policies that wind and solar energy industry groups say have stymied the development of new energy generation projects.
Chief U.S. District Judge Denise Casper in Boston issued a preliminary injunction, opens new tab sought by nine advocacy groups and industry trade associations that argued the administration had imposed unlawful roadblocks that have halted the development of wind and solar energy projects nationwide.

The judge said the plaintiffs were likely to succeed in showing the U.S. Department of Interior and other agencies adopted a series of unlawful policies that had led to renewable energy developers canceling or delaying numerous wind and solar projects nationwide.
Her ruling applies to members of the plaintiff organizations, which include RENEW Northeast and Alliance for Clean Energy New York. A lawyer for the groups did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Interior Department also did not respond to a request for comment.
The ruling was the latest in a series of judicial rebukes to the Trump administration’s efforts to block federal approvals for wind energy projects or stop work on multibillion-dollar offshore wind farms under construction on the East Coast.

The Republican president has sought to boost government support for fossil fuels and maximize their output in the United States, the world’s top oil and gas producer, after campaigning for the presidency on the refrain of “drill, baby, drill.”
Trump on Monday invoked the Defense Production Act as he signed a series of energy-related presidential memorandums aimed at further boosting production of oil, coal and natural gas, citing the need for “defense readiness.”
Groups supporting wind and solar power sued in December, seeking to block government actions they said placed wind and solar technologies into what one of their lawyers described as a “regulatory second-class status.”
Those actions included a policy the Interior Department adopted in a July memorandum that requires nearly every step in the wind and solar permitting process to receive approval from three senior political appointees, including Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
The memorandum cited directives and orders Trump had signed aimed at blocking offshore wind development and directing the Interior Department to eliminate “preferences” for “expensive and unreliable energy sources like wind and solar.”
The plaintiffs argued the policy created a bottleneck that ground permitting to a halt and was adopted without any explanation for why it was needed, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.
Casper, who was appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama, agreed, saying none of the directives the department cited explained or justified the three-tiered review process.
She also blocked policies the plaintiffs said disfavor energy projects that are “capacity dense,” as wind and solar ones would be deemed, and the Interior Department’s adoption of an interpretation of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act that imposes stricter standards for offshore wind projects.
