美国计划投资先进的绿色能源技术市场

　　据安迅思4月14日消息称，美国的大规模基础设施现代化计划包括数千亿美元，用于促进电动汽车、可再生能源和先进清洁能源技术的市场，同时取消对化石燃料的补贴。

　　这使得价值2万亿美元的基础设施建设蓝图成为政府迄今为止在实现美国经济到2050年脱碳和恢复美国在应对全球变暖问题上的领导地位方面迈出的最大一步。据投资公司Raymond James估计，虽然该计划的大部分是针对重建道路和桥梁等传统基础设施的目标，但约有三分之一(即628亿美元)与气候有关。

　　这项提案在成为现实之前还必须经过国会的辩论和批准，它受到了可再生能源行业和一些环保人士的欢呼，同时也受到了石油和天然气钻探者的批评。太阳能工业协会首席执行官Abigail Ross Hopper在一份声明中说：“拜登总统的基础设施提案是实现我们集体清洁能源目标的重要一步。”

　　美国可再生能源委员会表示，该计划“将使清洁能源部门摆脱无休止的临时性激励措施。” 代表美国最大的石油和天然气公司的美国石油协会表示，该计划将“破坏美国的经济复苏，危及高薪工作。”

　　在与气候有关的最大规定中，该计划包括投资1740亿美元，通过刺激国内供应链和给予消费者购买电动汽车回扣来“赢得电动汽车市场”。这也为风能和太阳能项目开发商带来了一个关键的胜利，他们提议将该行业的关键税收抵免延长10年，远比过去享受补贴的时间长。相比之下，它将取消对化石燃料生产商的数十亿美元补贴，主要是以税收减免的形式。

　　USA plans to invest in the market of advanced green energy technologies

　　U.S.’s vast plan to modernize the nation’s infrastructure includes hundreds of billions of dollars to boost the market for electric vehicles, renewable power and advanced clean energy technologies, while stripping away subsidies for fossil fuels.

　　That makes the USD2 trillion infrastructure blueprint one of the administration’s biggest steps to date in achieving its agenda to decarbonize the U.S. economy by 2050 and restore the nation’s leadership in addressing global warming. While much of the package is aimed at traditional infrastructure goals like rebuilding roads and bridges, about a third, or USD628 billion, is linked to climate, according to an estimate by investment firm Raymond James.

　　The proposals, which must still be debated and approved by Congress before becoming reality, drew cheers from the renewable energy industry and some environmentalists, along with criticism oil and gas drillers. “President Biden’s infrastructure proposal is a significant step in meeting our collective clean energy goals,” Solar Energy Industries Association Chief Executive Abigail Ross Hopper said in a statement.

　　The American Council on Renewable Energy said the plan “will move the clean energy sector beyond the endless cycles of temporary stopgap incentives.” The American Petroleum Institute, which represents the country’s biggest oil and gas companies, said the plan would “undermine the nation’s economic recovery and jeopardize good-paying jobs."

　　Among the biggest climate-related provisions, the plan includes USD174 billion in investment to “win the EV market” by spurring domestic supply chains and giving consumers rebates to buy electric cars. It also delivers a key win for wind and solar project developers with a proposal to extend the industry’s key tax credits by a decade, far longer than the timelines the subsidies have enjoyed in the past. By contrast, it would strip away billions of dollars’ worth of subsidies available to fossil fuels producers, mainly in the form of tax breaks.
