Trump-administrationen har planer om at skærpe kravene til, hvordan sol- og vindenergiprojekter kan kvalificere sig til føderale skatteincitamenter, skriver Reuters.
De nye retningslinjer fjerner blandt andet den hidtidige “safe harbor”-regel, hvor projekter kunne kvalificere sig ved blot at have afholdt 5% af de samlede omkostninger.
Reuters skriver blandt andet: “Tightening the requirements would be the latest in a string of steps the administration has taken to stall development of wind and solar energy, which Trump says are unreliable, expensive, and dependent on Chinese supply chains.
According to advisory firm Clean Energy Associates, the United States could lose about 60 gigawatts of planned solar capacity through 2030 if stricter “beginning of construction” rules are implemented. That would be enough electricity to power about 10 million homes.”
