荣鼎集团最新研究结果表明，特朗普和共和党人迅速破坏了拜登政府经过艰苦努力取得的能源转型进展。三年前，时任总统乔·拜登签署了具有里程碑意 义的《通胀削减法案》，为可再生能源、家庭能源升级和电动汽车创造了丰厚的税收激励措施，以及一系列旨在加速行业摆脱化石燃料使用的拨款和贷款 计划。 特朗普自重新入住白宫以来，一直在破坏美国减少地球变暖排放的努力。根据研究公司荣鼎集团（Rhodium Group）评估，美国目前预计在未来十年内将 温室气体排放量仅减少到2005年水平的26-35%。这一减排幅度远低于拜登政府时期的预测。 然而，特朗普政府和共和党控制的国会实际上废除了该法律，以及许多其他环境法规，例如限制车辆排放的法规，这些法规不仅有助于控制温室气体，还 能减少有害的空气污染。这是令人沮丧的消息。但在这迅速逆转的背后，如果仔细看，也有一线希望：特朗普证明了事情可以迅速改变。在未来的新政府 治理下，轨迹的快速改变可能会再次发生。 荣鼎集团2024年7月的一份报告发现，美国当时预计到2035年将减排38-56%。换句话说，去年拜登政府下的"最坏情况"仍比特朗普破坏国家脱碳战略后 的"最佳情况"要好。按照目前的情况，美国将 ...
