<p>根據國會獲得的電子郵件，內政部最近使用 10 億美元的納税人資金賄賂一家外國石油公司，以停止在美國開發廉價海上風電，實際上在偽造法律依據之前就已經決定了這一交易。</p>

<p>在這筆賄賂後的新聞稿中，道達爾能源發表了一份奧威爾式的聲明，暗示風能不符合美國的 “國家利益”……儘管它仍在其本國法國運營風電場，這使得這一交易的理由顯得令人困惑。為什麼對一個國家有利，而對另一個國家卻不然？</p>

<p>美國內政部動用了 10 億美元的納税人資金，勸説外國石油公司 TotalEnergies 停止在美國的海上風電開發。電子郵件顯示，這一決定是在法律依據形成之前做出的。TotalEnergies 在停止美國風電項目的同時，仍在法國運營風電場，這引發了對該交易背後理由的質疑</p>

<p>The Interior Department, which recently used $1 billion in taxpayer funds to bribe a foreign oil company into stopping development of cheap offshore wind in the US, had already decided on the deal before it had fabricated a legal justification for it, according to emails obtained by Congress.</p>

</div><p>In its press release after that payoff, TotalEnergies issued an Orwellian statement suggesting that wind power was not in the “national interest” of the US… despite it still operating wind farms in its native France, meaning this justification for the deal seemed puzzling. Why is it good for one country and supposedly not for another?</p>
