美国工会组织正与气候活动人士联手对抗特朗普政府的能源政策,试图维护清洁能源产业中的工会工作机会。1拜登政府于2022年签署《通胀削减法案》,为符合最低工资和学徒要求的清洁能源项目提供激励。1特朗普上台后采取相反举措,2025年下令暂停Empire Wind、Revolution Wind、Sunrise Wind和Vineyard Wind等多个海上风电项目,1并花费27亿美元取消12个海上风电租赁协议。1
这些举措对产业造成了显著打击。1根据Bloomberg NEF的预测,特朗普当选前美国预期到2035年建成39吉瓦海上风电容量,但该机构10月的预测将这一数字下调至6吉瓦。1建筑工会估计因此损失约30亿工时。1
工会和环保组织通过法律途径取得了一些胜利,成功通过诉讼阻止了多个暂停令。1与此同时,这些组织继续发起动员活动,争取州层面的政策支持来维持清洁能源行业发展。1例如,Climate Jobs New York在2019年推动纽约州承诺到2035年建成9吉瓦海上风电容量。1
U.S. labor unions and climate advocates have mobilized to defend unionized employment in the clean energy sector following efforts by the Trump administration to dismantle policies that had accelerated the industry's growth. The Biden administration's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act provided incentives for clean energy projects that met minimum wage and apprenticeship requirements, spurring significant expansion in offshore wind development.1
The Trump administration has taken aggressive action to reverse these gains. In 2025, it issued orders halting multiple offshore wind projects, including Empire Wind, Revolution Wind, Sunrise Wind, and Vineyard Wind.1 The administration also spent $2.7 billion to cancel 12 offshore wind lease agreements.1 These actions have had substantial consequences for the workforce: building trades unions estimate the losses will amount to approximately 3 billion work hours.1
Despite these setbacks, unions and environmental organizations have achieved legal victories blocking several suspension orders.1 Meanwhile, projections for U.S. offshore wind capacity have shifted dramatically—Bloomberg NEF had predicted 39 gigawatts by 2035 before Trump's election, but lowered its forecast to just 6 gigawatts in October.1 Labor organizations continue to push for state-level policy protections to preserve clean energy job opportunities, building on earlier successes such as Climate Jobs New York's 2019 initiative securing New York's commitment to developing 9 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2035.1
