随着旧风能和太阳能项目接近报废,美国可再生能源的扩展将面临对不断上涨的退役成本和纳税人风险的严格审查。 U.S. renewable energy expansion faces scrutiny over rising decommissioning costs and taxpayer risk as old wind and solar projects reach end-of-life.

在美国,随着风能和太阳能项目接近寿命期的结束,预计到2050年将有70 000多台涡轮机和2亿个电池板将产生数百万吨废物,美国可再生能源的扩大将面临越来越多的审查,因为退役成本和纳税人责任不断上升。 Renewable energy expansion in the U.S. faces growing scrutiny over rising decommissioning costs and taxpayer liability as aging wind and solar projects near the end of their life spans, with over 70,000 turbines and 200 million panels expected to generate millions of tons of waste by 2050. 尽管可再生能源具有成本效益,而且全球增长,但联邦和州的政策,包括放松对诸如Wineyard Wind等项目的财政要求,引起了对问责制的关切。 Despite the cost-effectiveness and global growth of renewables, federal and state policies, including relaxed financial requirements for projects like Vineyard Wind, raise concerns about accountability. 与此同时,政治分歧依然存在,怀俄明州州长马克·戈登等共和党领导人不顾当地对土地使用和环境影响的反对,仍提倡风能。 Meanwhile, political divisions persist, with Republican leaders like Wyoming’s Governor Mark Gordon promoting wind energy despite local opposition over land use and environmental impacts. 批评者认为,气候变化政策在经济上是有害的,在科学上是没有根据的,而另一些人则强调迫切需要加快清洁能源的过渡,以避免不可逆转的气候影响。 Critics argue that climate change policies are economically damaging and scientifically unfounded, while others stress the urgency of accelerating clean energy transitions to avoid irreversible climate impacts.
