Trump Is Getting Away with Murdering an American Industry

트럼프 행정부가 미국 풍력 산업을 사실상 마비시키고 있다. 연방항공청(FAA)과 국방부가 풍력 발전 프로젝트에 대한 승인 절차를 중단시키면서 약 165개 프로젝트, 30GW 규모의 전력 생산이 지연되고 있다. 이는 군사 작전 영향 여부와 무관하게 진행되어 산업 전반에 큰 불확실성을 초래하고 있다. 풍력 업계와 민주당 의원들은 이를 강력히 비판하며 연방 인허가 제도의 정치적 악용 문제를 제기하고 있다. 이번 사태는 미국 내 재생에너지 투자 환경에 부정적 영향을 미칠 전망이다.

Die aktuellen, sonnenreichen Tage legen die Schwächen unseres derzeitigen Systems offen. Wir haben Energie im Überfluss, aber wir können sie nicht nutzen. Ist das der Fehler der Energiewende oder eines veralteten Systems?
