  • 怀特豪斯称特朗普政府已调整对风电和太阳能的立场
  • 他表示白宫需就此类项目提供更多明确信息
  • 法案能否在11月选举前进行投票仍不确定

华盛顿9月24日路透电 — 参议院资深民主党议员周四表示,在白宫就可再生能源的处理方式作出妥协后,美国参议院正接近达成一项改革法案,以加快大型基础设施项目的审批速度,但中期选举前能否就此举行投票仍不明朗。

环境委员会最高民主党议员谢尔顿·怀特豪斯与民主党同僚马丁·海因里希,与共和党议员就审批法案进行了数月谈判。去年12月,当唐纳德·特朗普总统叫停5个接近完工的东海岸近海风力农场项目后,谈判一度中断。

怀特豪斯表示,特朗普政府已向民主党方面保证,将改善法案中对风电和太阳能项目的处理方式。

“我非常感谢特朗普政府在这一方向上所做的努力,”他周四对记者表示。

“现在只是需要遵循参议院正常程序推进,并且(行政部门)需就其对风电和太阳能的承诺作出更明确的说明,”他说道。

尚未通过该审批法案的美国众议院目前处于休会状态,休会将持续至11月中期选举结束后。

怀特豪斯称,双方已达成的宽泛框架将在未来“数小时或数天内”转化为立法文本,以便其他议员、行业和环保组织进行审议。

白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯表示,本届政府“正积极推动通过具有历史意义的审批改革,以助力改善能源基础设施并降低成本”。

在特朗普的第二任期内,他一直在阻碍清洁能源技术的扩张,而清洁能源曾是前总统乔·拜登气候政策的核心内容。

民主党人曾表示,他们愿意改革《国家环境政策法》和《清洁水法》等核心环境法律,共和党人称这些法律导致大型项目审批周期过长。

民主党方面要求共和党加快建设现代化输电线路,以输送风电和太阳能等间歇性能源产生的电力。

代表电力公用事业、可再生能源公司以及石油和天然气行业的主要行业贸易组织,已敦促议员们在今年通过两党合作的审批改革法案。

  • Summary
  • Senator Whitehouse says Trump has improved wind and solar stance
  • He says White House needs to provide more clarity on those projects
  • Uncertain whether bill will get vote before November elections

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – The US Senate is nearing a deal to reform laws ‌to speed up permitting of large infrastructure projects after the White House compromised on how renewable energy is treated, though a vote is uncertain before the midterm elections, a top Senate Democrat said on Thursday.

Senators Sheldon Whitehouse, ​the top Democrat on the environment committee, and fellow Democrat Martin Heinrich have negotiated ​permitting legislation with Republican counterparts for months, after the talks had been cut off in ⁠December when President Donald Trump halted five near-complete offshore East Coast wind farms.

Whitehouse said ​the Trump administration has given Democrats assurances for improvements in how wind and solar energy projects ​would be handled in the bill.

“I appreciate very much what the Trump administration has done to move in this direction,” he told reporters on Thursday.

“Now it’s just a question of proper, ordinary Senate procedure playing out, ​and “more clarity from (the) executive branch on what they mean” on their promises for wind and ​solar, he said.

The US House of Representatives, which has not passed the permitting bill, is scheduled to ‌be in ⁠recess until after the November midterm elections.

Whitehouse said the broad parameters that have been agreed would be put into legislative language in coming “days or hours” so that other lawmakers, industry and environmental groups can review it.

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said the administration “is actively working to pass historic ​permitting reform to help ​improve energy infrastructure and ⁠lower costs.”

In his second term as president, Trump has hindered the expansion of clean energy technologies that were a cornerstone of former President Joe Biden’s ​climate policy.

Democrats had said they were willing to reform bedrock environmental ​laws like the ⁠National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Water Act, which Republicans say cause lengthy delays for major projects.

Republicans have faced demands from Democrats to accelerate the construction of modern transmission lines that ⁠can ​move electricity from intermittent sources like wind and solar.

Major industry ​trade groups representing electric utilities, renewable energy companies and the oil and gas sector have urged lawmakers to pass ​bipartisan reform of permitting this year.
