美国俄勒冈州联邦地方法院周四下令美国政府重启风能项目审批流程[1]。自2025年8月以来，国防部以雷达干扰为由停止参与风电项目审批，导致美国所有新风能开发项目陷于停顿[1]。法院裁定国防部的国家安全声称不足以让其退出法律规定的强制性审批程序[1]。
国防部此前声称无人机发展导致风机产生的雷达干扰构成国家安全风险[1]。法官审查了国防部用于证明阻止海上风电建设的机密报告后，不认同其理由[1]。特朗普政府曾多次尝试阻止风能开发，但法院驳回了其国家安全理由[1]。据报道，政府还转而支付公司放弃风能开发[1]。
A federal district court in Oregon ordered the U.S. government to resume its wind energy project approval process [1]. The ruling came after the Department of Defense halted its participation in wind power reviews since August 2025, effectively freezing all new wind energy development projects across the country [1].
The Defense Department had justified its withdrawal by citing radar interference concerns, claiming that wind turbines pose a national security risk to unmanned aerial vehicle operations [1]. However, the court determined that the agency's national security assertions do not permit it to abandon the legally mandated review procedures [1]. After examining classified reports submitted by the Defense Department to support its position against offshore wind construction, the judge found the arguments insufficient [1]. The Trump administration's repeated attempts to obstruct wind energy development have been rejected by the courts on national security grounds [1]. In some cases, the government has opted to pay companies to abandon wind power projects [1].
