数十个州起诉特朗普政府 取消了70亿美元 用于低收入美国人的太阳能基金
Dozens of states sued the Trump administration over canceling $7 billion in solar funding for low-income Americans.
十多个州、哥伦比亚特区及多个利益攸关方对特朗普政府提出诉讼,要求取消70亿美元的联邦资金,用于 " 人人享有太阳能 " 方案,该方案是拜登时代的一项倡议,旨在向近100万低收入美国人推广负担得起的太阳能。
More than a dozen states, the District of Columbia, and various stakeholders sued the Trump administration over the cancellation of $7 billion in federal funding for the Solar for All program, a Biden-era initiative to expand affordable solar energy to nearly 1 million low-income Americans.
该方案是根据《减少通货膨胀法》设立的,8月被美国环保局终止,引起华盛顿、加利福尼亚、纽约和内华达等州的法律质疑,这些州认为这一举动违反了联邦法律、国会意图和权力分立。
The program, created under the Inflation Reduction Act, was terminated by the EPA in August, prompting legal challenges from states including Washington, California, New York, and Nevada, who argue the move violated federal law, congressional intent, and the separation of powers.
该诉讼案向华盛顿州联邦法院提出,将环保局署长Lee Zeldin列为被告,寻求恢复供资,并坚持对清洁能源获取、创造就业机会和能源负担能力的承诺。
The lawsuit, filed in Washington state federal court, names EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin as a defendant and seeks to restore funding and uphold commitments to clean energy access, job creation, and energy affordability.
取消是气候倡议更广泛倒退的一部分,包括终止另外200亿美元的绿色供资,因为行政当局优先发展化石燃料。
The cancellation is part of a broader rollback of climate initiatives, including the termination of an additional $20 billion in green funding, as the administration prioritizes fossil fuel development.
