特朗普政府要求联邦法院重新评估其对一个近乎完工的海上风电场的先前批准，这一举动升级了政府对风能的攻击，引发了人们对政府与民主党基础设施协议的质疑。周五，特朗普政府请求罗伊·兰伯思法官允许其重新评估其对革命风电项目（Revolution Wind Project）的先前批准是否合理。政府援引了该项目“对该地区沿海其他用途可能造成的中等至重大不利影响”。
The Trump administration is asking a federal court to reassess a prior approval of a nearly-completed offshore wind farm, an escalation of the administration’s attack on wind energy that’s raising questions about an infrastructure deal with Democrats. On Friday, the Trump administration asked Judge Roy Lamberth to allow it to reassess whether its past approval of the Revolution Wind Project was warranted. It cited the project’s “potential moderate to major adverse impacts to other uses” of the area off the nation’s coast.
此举是政府对可再生能源，尤其是风能的一系列攻击之一，而风能正是特朗普总统尤其蔑视的对象。然而，这一最新行动正值政府正在与民主党就一项旨在加速全国能源和基础设施项目建设的协议进行谈判之际。上个月，参议院民主党和共和党表示，他们已就一项立法达成协议，该立法旨在通过削减环境法律和其他条款来加速各种能源（包括可再生能源和化石燃料）的建设。
The move is one of a series of attacks the administration has instituted on renewable power and especially wind energy, a particular subject of President Trump’s scorn. However, this latest action comes as the administration is working on a deal with Democrats that seeks to expedite the buildout of energy and infrastructure projects across the board. Last month, Senate Democrats and Republicans said they had reached a deal on legislation that seeks to speed the buildout of various types of energy including renewables and fossil fuels by curtailing environmental laws and other provisions.
在谈判该方案期间，特朗普政府对可再生能源的处理成为争议的焦点。当协议宣布时，参议员谢尔顿·怀特豪斯（民主党-罗得岛州）表示，一个尚未解决的问题是“在特朗普政府下恢复风能和太阳能项目的常规程序的问题”。“这一点尚未解决，但我们已经收到了我认为是特朗普政府提出的一个非常合理的开局提议，”他说。
As the package was being negotiated, the Trump administration’s treatment of renewables was a key point of contention. When the deal was announced, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said that one outstanding issue was “the question of returning to regular order for wind and solar projects in the Trump administration.”“That is unresolved, but we have had what I would consider to be a very reasonable opening proposal from the Trump administration,” he said at the time.
目前尚不清楚这一最新举动是否会影响立法通过的努力。立法者预计将在今年晚些时候的鸭子会期（lame duck session）审议该法案。革命风电项目位于罗得岛海岸外，预计将为罗得岛和康涅狄格州的35万户家庭供电。
It’s unclear whether the latest maneuver will impact efforts to get the legislation across the finish line. Lawmakers are expected to take up the bill in the lame duck session later this year. Revolution Wind is located off the coast of Rhode Island and is expected to supply enough power for 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
特朗普政府的提交是在2024年，多名个人和组织对该项目的批准提出质疑后所提起的案件中进行的。
